Waking up early without meaning to, wanting to

Today I woke up at 5:30 AM, without an alarm clock, feeling cheerful and rested, which is quite an achievement. I'm the kind of person who snoozes the alarm at least three times, and sleeping a little longer is always one of my greatest desires and habits.

It turns out that I slept through the night without interruption. How delightful! This only happens to me once a year because I usually spend a good part of the early morning emptying my bladder, which is really annoying. It puts me in a bad mood in the early morning, robs me of a good part of my energy in the mornings, and makes me long for my bed in the afternoons, but today may be different.

I also woke up very hungry, so I'm going to make breakfast. Probably an arepa and a cup of hot chocolate, a breakfast I have often but never get tired of. Have you ever gotten tired of something you really like? It's happened to me, but fortunately not with chocolate.

I wanted to listen to some soft music to keep me company, although I love being alone, the company of music is different, you can turn it off whenever you want without it getting upset and complaining.

Instrumental music for a cool Saturday morning. I wanted to experiment with something I hadn't heard before and found some beautiful guitar chords. It was definitely a good choice. The day has gotten off to a good start.

Today I'm going with my sister and her husband to visit my mom. It's a bit far, so it's nice to have someone to take me there and back. Taking public transportation can sometimes be tiring, and it takes me more than twice as long.

I hope the rest of the day goes as well as this morning. Things are tense in the family because of issues related to the care of my elderly and ailing mother; it hasn't been easy to reach an agreement. I'll try to take it one minute at a time so I'm not predisposed or defensive. Sometimes, doing nothing and saying nothing is best.



Thank you for accompanying me. I wish you good health, a dignified life.

The Sleep Bandits have struck again here in @krazzytrukker land.

They robbed me of what would have been a long and good nights sleep. Something I rarely achieve out here on a delivery. The dangers and violence of the big cities I try to avoid overnights in. This delivery however puts me in downtown Tampa Florida amongst the filth of humanity. I sleep with my trucking kitty @krazzy-kitty close by along with our protector a .380 Bersa Thunder. But it is not the bladder that goes thump in the night. Every loud noise wakes me out here. There are so many of those loud noises. How can people live like this in these cesspool cities? I cannot sleep thru it all. And The bladder too. So I will sleep the next night at home. The Pookyville Cat Ranch with my @pooky-jax at a well fortified and secure location. 😉

I do enjoy your postings with the music additions. 💞

It's awful not being able to sleep well. It puts me in a bad mood and I feel like it robs me of something vital. I also don't like the noise of the city. Where I live, there are lots of noisy motorcycles, even in the early hours of the morning. Luckily, I have a door that muffles the noise well, and I turn on the fan. I prefer the noise of the appliance that cools me down to those demonic motorcycles.

Life with cats is better. I have lived with some who stole my heart, but they are no longer with me.

Breakfast looks delicious, I wouldn't get tired of it either. Waking up rested is quite an achievement. Blessings to your mom.

I hope I never get tired of chocolate, I enjoy it so much.
