I decided it was time to get back into routine a bit today, seeing as I'm back at work at 7 tomorrow. Break myself in gently, I thought. Set the alarm for 8.
At 8, the alarm went off and, with quite admirable self-control I reckon, I ignored the temptation of the snooze button and leapt into action. Made the breakfast and ran myself a bath while I got the rubbish ready to put out for collection.
Stepping out into the frost-covered world and seeing the sun glistening on the whiteness from the cloudless blue sky, suddenly I felt awake and alive. The day stretched in front of me, full of potential, and I could hardly bear to go back into the dark, central heated flat as my lungs were so happily full of fresh clear air. But going in was rather necessary, seeing as I was in my pyjamas (covered with jogging bottoms and a coat, seeing as I'm in a slightly posher area now!). So I dashed inside and nipped into the bath to freshen up before waking the Smudgelet and making him go out for a walk.
Well, that was the plan.
Still, at least I woke up before the water was tooooooooo cold and I was tooooooooo prune-like. And we still have an hour or two before it goes dark!
