I'm so bad! I slept in until after 6! ;) Well, the last half hour or so was mostly a combination of snoozing between alarm iterations and trying to remember the names of the dudes who did the King Tut excavation. I know Lord Carnaveron financed the operation, and I'm thinking Howard Carter was the main Egyptologist who looked at stuff. I haven't looked it up yet, but I'm pretty sure this is right. Then I thought about how it was interesting the Egyptology is the only discipline of which I'm aware that's so specific in orientation. Like, you have classical anthropologists, but those cover all the various poleis of the Mediterranean as well as the several variants of Rome- and often some Egypt as well! How do you wake up one morning and say "nope, it's just gonna be Egypt for me from now on" ? Then I whined internally about how it's cold outside of bed. I finally got up at 6:02.
Feel much better today. Drinking coffee and green juice. Gym bag is packed, so I'll have to refrain from dawdling at all this morning to get that run in, but it'll be totally worth it.
