Who gets up when

"Not hard" is one of those relative things. Unless we have a flight to catch, we're extremely unlikely to be up before 8:00. I made an exception this morning because I needed to get my blood drawn before breakfast, and got up at the absurdly early hour of 7:40. By the time I had driven to Peabody, gotten my blood drawn, and returned, it was about 8:45, and I expected, somehow, that breakfast would be waiting on the table, or at least in progress. But somehow my beloved husband had managed not only to be unaware of my departure but to sleep through the entire hour.

Oh, well, it's not like we had any important appointments this morning.

Relativity. I couldn't even stay awake last night when the Mariners, only behind by 2, loaded the bases with no outs against Houston. I probably could have guessed but didn't know for sure until I got up at 4:30, that they had, indeed, blown it. So my failure to stay awake was rather much of a blessing that time.

I try not to get out of bed before 8 am, myself. ;)
