A New Day Begins
Otherwise known as "Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life"
For the almost 4 years we have been together, Greg has worked evenings from Sunday to Thursday. I work days. I have complained about having a part-time boyfriend ever since. Essentially, we see each other Friday evening after I finish work until Sunday afternoon when he got back to work. On work days, when he got home around 1:00 A.M., I would be fast asleep. When I get up in the morning to get ready for work, he is fast asleep. We do a bit of smooching then, but not much. I am not a sleepy sex kinda guy.
Well today is the dawn of a new day. Greg has the same job but now is working the day shift. We were both in bed and pretty much asleep by 10:30 last night. I was up by 6:30, showered and shaved when Greg got up at 7:00.
An unexpected benefit this morning was a change in my own routine. I have been getting in the habit of waking up at about 6:30, watching Breakfast Television for as long as I can manage, rush into the shower, then run out the door and get to work after 9 sometime. I usually grab a nice fruit salad and bagel with swiss cheese and tomato, no butter, on the way.
Today after I was showered, I turned on CBC Radio 1, cuddled with Greg a bit, had me some cereal then walked to work with Greg. I even brought my lunch to work!
I got there at about 8:50. A good start to a new morning routine.
Let's see if it lasts. But in the meanwhile, I will enjoy spending more time with Greg!
