The Saturday Morning Experience with @NoNamesLeftToUse
I somehow doubt waking up at 3 a.m. was what he had in mind.
I had that dream again.
You know the dream.
It'll flash before your eyes, as you sleep. It's exciting. The dream, the vision; it always wakes you up, instantly.
This is what you see:
So you fling the blankets off!
This is it! A sign from the dream gods!
I better check my blog! Something awesome happened while I slept! Everything else can wait! I don't care that it's still dark outside; three in the morning, pff! So what!
Upon arrival; the reality...
It was only a dream.
Again...
So now it's 3:05 a.m. Saturday morning.
What to do...
The early to bed thing — that was an accident. Dozed off.
Tired, no point in going back to sleep though. Better get some coffee, she's gonna be a long day.
Cigarettes.
I hate you.
Why must you torment me?
Come on. Just one. You know you love me.
Okay! Fine! I won't ask questions! You're in charge, your highness. I'll go outside first just so you can poison me for six minutes so I feel better.
What's the temperature today, I wonder.
-11 °C
13 °F (uck)
Socks — or no socks?
Too lazy to put socks on. I'll only be outside for a few minutes. My Canadian feet can handle it.
Hmm, it's not so bad out here. I guess I'll sweep the snow off the deck, maybe do the sidewalk as well since I'm out here.
Maybe I should pretend I'm curling and wake up the neighbors...
No. I better not. It's too early for shenanigans.
Hmm? I can't seem to feel my toes...
Feeling fresh though!
Some crisp fresh air and a good workout to start the day.
I'll see you again in two hours?
Oh be quiet, stupid cigarettes!
It's coffee time!
Clean cup, check. Coffee pod, check. Push the button, check.
And now we wait.
Hmm. Looks like this single serve coffee contraption is out of water.
No problem!
Off to the fridge I go!
I've been meaning to change that light bulb.
Why do I keep forgetting to buy a bulb...
Oh well. No time for bulbs. It's coffee time.
Wait
Did I?
No. I didn't — did I?
I did...
Dammit.
Why, in the actual fuck, did I pour milk into the water reservoir?
Yup. Automatic brown coffee.
Hmm. This doesn't taste bad at all.
But I better clean this damn thing out.
What a day, so far.
And it's only 4 a.m.
You got up as I was going to bed. I shiver at the idea of going out into the cold to deal with the snow. I get up at 8 am every morning to feed my ducks and let them out to free range. It's no fun going out in the cold so early to work. Air so cold it burns as you breath it in. I hate putting on pants so I run out in my nightgown with a coat over it and dump the food, open the door, then run back in and go back to bed. Maybe I need to scream like those curlers. Give the neighbors going to work early in the morning a good show of legs while I scream.
Canadian lungs must be different. I find the cold air to be quite refreshing. -40 air gives me a buzz. So pure.
Reminds me a bit of when the car keys ended up in the fridge and milk in the cereal cupboard. Not sure WHERE to put the Capt. Crunch, but I 'm sure it will all work out.
(Early AM cereal and cartoons are what I thought about when I first saw your sign. What that has to do with putting all that stuff in the wrong place every now and then...)
We've all been there. Just don't put the kid in the trunk...
You nailed the cover. That's what I was going for. Some old school Saturday morning cartoons.
Never a dull moment here. lol
It was a quiet day here, which is fine because now most won't know how much of an idiot I can be.
6 minutes, almost to the damn minute!
I run a tight ship.
"I think the dude on USA's $100 bill said that."
He was also fond of getting diseases from prostitutes if the rumors are true.
I feel your pain, man. I went to nap for an hour and woke up 5 hours later at 3 in the morning. I wrote a little post and now I am trying to decide if should try to go back to bed or if I should push on through the day.
"But I better clean this damn thing out."
It should be fine. Milk clumps add flavor to any drink.
Is that why they say it's wise to wash your hands after handling money all day?
I already cleaned it. Good ole vinegar. Now it runs like new!
Well, that and all the stripper fluids.
I have also heard early to bed early to rise work like hell and advertise. LOL I could use some coffee too!
I'm on my fourth cup!
What about this: "Going to bed late, waking up early". It could be less healthy, but more productive!
I'm good at doing that as well! Some days I sleep and stay awake at the same time.
Did the milk coffee actually taste good? Lol Asking for a friend...

It was, milky.
I guess you could say it was the "milky way". 😂
Also, have you ever tried a sleep machine? My dad's a really light sleeper and he said his helps. I like mine as well.

I had plenty of rest. It was a crash and burn. My hours are all screwed up. I'm used to staying awake for more than 24 hours, then sleeping for eight to ten.
Cigs, want to quit? I've been 5 years smoke free thanks to whyquit.com... but also it was 'my time' for that.
Now if I could just start waking up at 3am my life would be even more on track...
That image of a bloody cigarette was produced a long time ago to commemorate the day I quit, then I blogged about it. I lasted quite a few weeks, cold turkey, then snapped. I'll be trying again, don't you worry.
The best way to wake up at 3 am is to simply stay awake for as long as possible, then crash whenever, but of course a few hours before 3 am. Works for me! This day already feels like two days in one.
