I Have a Rigid Clock
Body clock, that is. Since Sunday, I've been waking up at 5:00 every morning. I'm given a gift of an extra hour and I squander it. But it's not by choice. My system locks in step with the alarm clock to the point where I usually wake up the minute before it goes off and hit the snooze button. On Saturdays (even on vacation), I still wake up at the same time.
It'll be a few weeks before I get locked into the newer schedule. In the meantime, I try to stay in bed without being restless as long as possible. Yesterday and today, I got the dog walked way before the kids were at the bus stops (I usually assume that people think I'm stalking the kids) and did some work. I made a killer egg burrito (scrambled egg, organic cheddar, homemade guacamole, chili-flavored wrap from Trader Joe's) and even packed a lunch. Who knew I could be this productive?
The other part of this equation is that it's actually starting to feel like Fall. I wake up from a long summer torpor right around my birthday. I don't particularly like the super cold days, but the chilly or brisk days suit me just fine. Good for combustion engines and good for my combustible brain.

My clock is dysfunctional.
Every night I end up staying up until 6 or 7AM and sleeping until sometime between 11AM and 1PM.
I'm the same way here. And so are my kids, unfortunately.
Me, too, I have a rigid--oh, clock.
I thought the double entendre was more obvious. Probably people just took the high ground. ;)
Ah - morning clock!
Chris, you totally have time for a morning shot and beer!
