I have to confess, I really don't understand, 'morning people.' If I scrunch up my forehead and tense my brain really hard (which I wouldn't advise because, you know, wrinkles), I can just about consider the fact that being up early, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, perhaps has some merits, i.e. you're probably the first to catch the morning news and that old one of 'seeing more of the day!' but in all honesty, I just don't buy it. You can't tell me that star-fishing in a warm, cosy bed, isn't one of life's greatest, little pleasures!
Having to get up early really isn't my cup of Tetley. And those people that say it gets easier once you get into a routine, yea.. those guys are lying. For around 18 months whilst I was teaching in Qatar, I had to get up at 5am every morning, unless I was rudely disturbed by a random cockerel, (no jokes) or a call to prayer at 4am, and then I hit that snooze button faster than I eat cake when I'm excited, but I'm telling you now, it doesn't get easier... ever, and I'd probably go as far as saying getting up early causes actual bodily pain. It hurts. It really, really hurts.
However, what really ruffles my feathers are these noisy ass people who feel that just because they are awake, they can make as much damn noise as they like. Oh how you make me shudder in a passive aggressive manner and scrunch up my duvet covers around my head so tight that you'd better be afraid. I'm going to put it out there that if I ever became inclined to harm someone, it would be you guys. Rev that engine outside my bedroom window at 6am again, I dare ye! And for the record, I'm not a fan of listening to R Kelly at the crack of dawn so as much as I appreciate you considering my needs and trying to brighten up my morning with a jolly jingle, you can just go ahead and turn that shit down a notch or two.
Much love.
Oh, and before I leave, I'd like to say a big thanks to the man that inspired this post. He's been outside with his chainsaw, chopping down trees since 7:30am. Seriously, what a guy!
