Off the Mark

Jul 21, 2009 20:07

Because I am now in a new routine for the next two weeks I have had to go through retraining myself when to get up and that time markers I need to hit to be on time. I tried to make it easy on my self by setting things half and hour earlier (since that's how much earlier I work). The first day (Monday) I did just fine and got to work early as I had hoped. It was today that I missed the mark but not in a bad way.

See when I set the alarm for my clock I set it half an hour before I want to be up and expect to hit the snooze 4 time before getting up. Well this morning I must have been so worried about not getting up that I jumped out of bed when the alarm went off the first time. I didn't really notice or think about it though. I just went through my routine getting ready to run the lake. It wasn't until I got to the lake and looked at the clock that I knew something was wrong. I checked the time three times to make sure I wasn't seeing things but I was up and running at 3:30am!

I went over and over in my head just how I could be at the lake so early and getting up with the first alarm is the only explanation. I decided that even though it was ungodly early I was going to run anyway. I was out there and it would just take me more time to go home for a bit. I decided that when I got back I could just use the extra time on the computer.

I was amused at how eager I had been to stay on time. ^_^ I felt good for the day but took a 3 hour nap as soon as I got home (and before heading to the library). I spent the time at the library talking with Emily and Danielle for a while the online doing pretty much nothing at all.

I will definitely not be up tomorrow at 2:30am!! I know better now. :D
