In which I see seven AM for the first time in awhile.

Snow asked me to take him to the airport this morning. He had a flight departing at 6:10 AM, and we were supposed to leave his house — which is a block away — at 3:45 this morning. I set my phone alarm, got up at 3:15, dressed and put in my contact lenses, let Bindu out, and was where I was supposed to be on time.

His whole house was dark and all the doors were locked. I lurked around for ten minutes and called his cell five times — later I learned it was in Denver — before I gave up and went home.

I stayed awake for another hour or more expecting him to call, but he didn’t and I finally crashed. Just about the time I finally entered REM sleep, my cell rang and jarred me awake. Oof. Instant headache.

So now it’s ten AM and I just got home from a round trip to Cedar Rapids. Ten AM may be “morning” to some people, but I’m on India time and I’ve been up all night. DISCO NAP!

    What happened to Snow? Taxi? Missed the flight? You can’t leave us hanging here!

    I took him late and dropped him off at the airport at about 8:30. He flew standby. He wants me to pick him up next Monday. Yay! Money! -m

    I do not enjoy having to be up by 8AM, so I don’t. Consequently I’m, late for work, but no one is perfect, right? Actually, lately, I’ve been waking up at exactly 749AM. I don’t get up, but I’m at least semi-conscious. If it weren’t for the heat, I’d never leave the bed.

    Tardiness is a sign of wonderfulness. Sometimes I’m so wonderful I don’t show up at all. 😉 -m

    Morning time is the best time. I bet you 7AM was so awesome that you’re going to set your alarm so you can experience it all over again.

    Eewh. No. No! Gah! -m
