My Least Favorite Time of Day

Here's my morning ritual....
I look at my clock with one eye closed and the other only open halfway. When I see what time the clock says I know if I can go back to sleep and if I can snuggle awhile longer. Some mornings it's really early like 6am so I can get up, use the bathroom and go back to sleep.
But on days like today the clock said 8am and my bladder wouldn't wait so I had to resign myself to getting up, took a shower, made the bed and here I am having my coffee.
I've never been one to bounce out of bed in the morning even going back to my early childhood school days. My mom would have to call me a few times and then yell for me to get up.
Guess I'm not prone to be an early bird like many myLotters who are up at the crack of dawn and go out and exercise, shop etc before I even think about getting up.
So here I sit, waiting for my coffee to kick in, clear my head and lift that morning brain fog.

Do you not need to turn on any lights to make the coffee Paige?

@MarshaMusselman Just the light under the microwave. Hubby put a label on the light button so I can feel it in the dark.
Once my coffee is ready I can turn off the light and look out the window as the sky lightens
But, usually Hubby sets the coffee on my bedside table before I wake up. And I drink it and watch TV/check e-mails, so not actually dark, just dim.

I never used to be a morning person but in the fall it was like I was changing a small bit. I rarely get up that early at six am but today I got up at eight. I woke up at 7:30 and went potty. My alarm was set for nine but I have ideas on discussions to write about so for up since I couldn't get back to sleep.
Right now with it dark in the house I don't like getting up early either.
By the way my coffee is still being made but I'm here this morning to enjoy a cup of coffee with you and visit a bit which I just did.

I don't usually have too much trouble getting up in the morning. I am awake. I just choose not to get up. If I am awake enough and feel like it, I will get up by 8.

I'm one of those annoying morning people who seem to hit the running - or hobbling as the case is now. lol

I have been an early bird for quite some time, but, do not always want to get up these days. I find it hard to get up at times when I have to get up early. I get up several times in the night to go to the bathroom and that makes it very hard for me to go back to sleep.
