Every Tuesday morning, I go to a business networking meeting—which means that I've been up since 5am! But it also means that I'm all done up, which is otherwise infrequent because I work from home and I'm kind of a hermit.

Suffice to say that I was really feeling myself today, so I snapped my first selfie of 2020.



I call this selfie, "My boyfriend broke up with me this weekend, but even though we're staying friends, I'm still mad at him and it's a visceral pleasure to feel hot right now." Ya boy may be an agender queer on the ace-aro spec, but he absolutely appreciates serving looks.

On another note, I'm feeling a little delirious at this point but my Sundial Exchange treat is singing that siren call. Things might get weird tonight but you can bet I'm going to ride this wave into Writing Town.

Lookin good, good-lookin! Getting up at 5 AM for a meeting once a week sounds...a bit of a lot. This from a fellow hermit. But good luck with that weird words wave!

big grin Thank you!! And okay, alright, to be fair my alarm is for 6:15 and before the holidays I was waking up around 5:30 on the natural. (Why? I don't know. I just don't know. It started around the daylight savings time change and bodies are weird.) The holiday break got me eventually sleeping in till around 7-8am, but now that I'm back to work, well. Here we are again, it seems! I woke up well before my alarm.

Hopefully 5am isn't the new norm. I'd take 5:30am again over that. harried wild-eyed smile (Okay, honestly, I've come to like waking up early. But not 5am-early. That's too much.)

And thank you, I'm retroactively going to soak up ALL the good writerly luck! 💪

Oh, wow, we're total opposites. My body clock thinks that the ideal sleep schedule is, like, 2:30 AM to 10 AM, and if I'm able to wake up late and I'm lacking in discipline, that's what I end up doing. My brain really considers 5 AM to be the middle of the night. ^^;

What even are circadian rhythms—it's totally bananas, man!!

Apparently I'm a bit of an odd duck, though, because I'm the sort that as soon as I wake up, I'm Awake. I don't experience morning grogginess and going back to sleep after waking up is nigh impossible for me. So when my body decided that it was waking up at 5:30-6am a few months ago, I was like damn...okay?? 😂

Bodies just out here existing doing what they want...

What the heck, bodies! What are these wacky-ass sleep schedules! I'm an insomniac (off and on but chronically) so I do know what it's like to wake up and suddenly just be wide awake, but usually it only happens in the middle of the night. Ot1h, no morning grogginess sounds nice in theory. Otoh...thAT'S SO EARLY, lol.
