It's Not An Eye For An Eye, It's a Favor For a Favor....

I hate when the mind refuses to cooperate. On anything. Maybe I still haven't properly woken up and that's the problem. I'll confess, I lazed half-awake in bed until 8:00. And I haven't technically gotten 'up' yet, as I haven't done the morning dishes or made myself some sort of drink to give me energy.

Somehow, over the course of the last few months, I've completely turned myself into a morning person. Instead of taking my pleasure in staying up late of nights, watching TV and enjoying the darkness, it's now all about the morning.

I love the quiet of it. I love standing at the kitchen sink as I dry or wash the dishes and watch the light come up. It's a contemplative, reflective time. I think we all need that at the start of the day. It certainly keeps me calm. Why, I'm not even the list bit angry over things I probably ought to be angry over. Either I've become terribly zen, or I've just become terribly used to being blown off and forgotten about.

That, or I'm so wrapped up in TBC that I just don't care.

I've decided I am most definitely cosplaying Sylvia. But instead of Sylvia and Lamika, I'm doing Sylvia instead of Lamkia. Realistically, I don't have the time to get Lamika done between now and AniZona. Not with my novel, damned, finally learning how to drive, getting the garden set up and helping everyone else with their costumes. Plus the normal little things that eat away at my time, like cooking and cleaning.

I was tagged to do that 'pick ten people who make my day' meme thing, but...I can't bring myself to do it. I can't in all honesty or fairness pick just ten people, and I'd hate to leave anyone out. Usually I love jumping on memes, but that one just leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. (Which is not directed at anyone who's done it! Just my own personal viewpoint here, nothing more.)

I've been abed too long, and the morning light is nearly gone. I'd better catch it before it's too late. ;)

Now, why does this sound so darned familiar? ;) I'm very much the same way.

Agreed. I understand the sentiment behind it and what it intends to do, but in the end, I wouldn't be able to do one of these because I would want to acknowledge everyone, period. Same goes for the "love memes" where you post someone else's name for others to comment on. Someone is inevitably going to get missed or passed over unless everyone has the stamina to acknowledge everyone.

It's got to be a Wednesday thing. ;)

Yeah, it is a nice sentiment, but...I'd just feel too awful about leaving anyone out. Pretty much everyone on my Flist makes my day on one day or another, after all!

I love the early morning too, but I mostly love seeing it after having been up all night.

My daughter was an insomniac, and I used to stay up after she finally went to sleep and cook. Those were the days.

I sadly cannot manage to stay up all night anymore. :/ Sometimes I can manage at cons, but usually I pass out for a few hours around 2 or 3. :D

Mmm, late night/early morning cooking....

Yay for your learning how to drive! Whatever happened to your car, btw? O.o

Indeed! He needed new parts. :D Just needs a new fuel line - which is on its way - and he'll be all set. :D
