The Morning Person

[tundramanq]

I used to be that "hit the deck running, Morning Person" bugging the slow starters. Now I am the one stumbling to that first Cup-O-Joe in the morning with my dog, April, dogging my heels for her breakfast... If you ever been asked to "go away" or do something anatomically impossible? You may be that Morning Person. LOL - I think it's Karma here.

On the kilt front, I keep a Sport Kilt flannel Velcro waist Comfy kilt at bed side and wear it until I no longer need both hands to get the cup to my lips reliably. Then I switch to the kilt of the day as coffee stains can be interesting to get out of some blended fabrics.

Can't remember ever being the up-n-go type. Maybe in high school.
I have to get up really early (also, a few moments peace before the zoo awakens) so I can have at least a half pot of coffee in me to grease the gears.

30 + years of shift work of varying hours have wreaked my ability to sleep through, I've been up at 1:30, 3:00, 4:00 this week but don't need to get up until 5:00 (to leave for work at 6:00). I get to sleep around 22:00.
Coffee is no good as I have to have decaffeinated, as I'm highly reactive to caffeine.

When I was younger I always hated getting up in the morning, so I definitely had to have a cup o Joe. Now, I automatically wake up even on the weekends. Still love a good strong cup of black coffee, though.

I do a morning radio show. The alarm goes off at 4 AM and I am on the air at 5. No coffee either! I have a little sweet iced tea in the morning on the way to the studio and it's water for me after that.

As soon as I wake up I have to get up and have a cup of coffee, no rest for the wicked!!

As the years go by, we all become grateful for the simple act of
waking up in the morning. Coffee is an additional benefit

I am one of those cheerful souls who can be roused from a cosy bunk at any hour to assist in the wind and rain without losing my sense of humour.

The way some people carry on about me going 'Woooohaaah!!' when half a ton of sea water gets thrown up and blown aboard or a squall hits and lays her lee rail under you'd think that they didn't go sailing for pleasure.

Perhaps I should not recite Psalm 107 verses 23 to 31 - the King James version, 'They that go down to the sea in ships etc. - at least not aloud but it quite cheers me up when it's cold dark wet and blowing a gale and everyone is in a filthy mood.

As long as I'm not the captain and I trust whoever is then I'm right there with you. Don't care about the sleep or lack thereof. However, I've found that when it's my boat and I'm responsible I'm a whole lot less adventurous. And, coffee doesn't help although rum helps soothe the frayed nerves once we're safe in port.

I was a volunteer fireman on the NC coast through three hurricanes in the 1980's. I was known to stand "graveyard" shift between the door frames and whoop at the winds while others bemoaned the duty. I relate dear Anne.
