Yeah... I talk a big game

I'm using the email function because I'm just too damned lazy to launch my
browser and log in to Blogger proper. The thing is, the email function
always causes weird line breaks and formatting. But I just can't be bothered
today, you know? So I'm apologizing in advance for any wonky formatting.

Remember how I said I was gonna quit titling?

I'm still titling.

I actually did quit... sorta... I'm thinking that I didn't quite make myself
clear because I'm still in the system. I've decided to take advantage of
that and get a little done here and there. But I actually have plenty to
write so I don't really need to.

Mercury had finally gone direct so that may have something to do with
whatever is happening.

However, I have not heard anything about the other job. I've decided to go
on the premise that no news is good news. In a perfect world, I'll come home
from Yoga and fine an offer letter in my inbox. I can hope.

I gave up on the idea of getting up at 5AM to work. I tried it for two weeks
straight. The first week I was OK, the second, I was exhausted. By last
Sunday, I was completely over the whole thing... which may be part of the
reason for my rant and proclamation on Monday. I was just too damned tired,
having gotten up early the day before and not gone to sleep until after 2AM.

Sleep dep fucks up even the best of us.

Anyway, after all that, I gave up. I may be a morning person but not THAT
time of the morning. Not only that but getting up at 5AM meant going to bed
at 9PM (at the latest). I haven't gone to bed at 9AM since I was a child. On
Monday night I started getting sleepy around 10PM-not unusual, I was still
loopy from the weekend-so I went to bed.

What do you know, I woke up at 5:30AM yesterday and 5:45 this morning. No
alarm, I just woke up naturally. I did doze a little (after all, I'd
purposely not set my alarm because I had no intention of getting up so
early), but it was clear that I had slept enough.

The hell?

So I got up. Yesterday I made myself a nice smoothie, watched some primate
soaps on Animal Planet and went to the gym. When I got home I took advantage
of the fact that I was still in the titling system and made notes on some of
the articles I need to write. This morning? I'm not sure. I know that
breakfast and yoga are both in the equation, but that's about it. Maybe more
titling. Maybe writing.

I just find it funny that I stopped forcing myself to get up at 5AM and
ended up waking up at about the same time anyway. The only difference, I
feel MUCH more functional and rested.

So anyway, yeah, after all that bluster on Monday... still titling.
