It seems forever that I've worked nights and my body is convinced that the day begins at four in the afternoon. In fact I've managed to train my horses to believe that 4 pm is breakfast time. (No, they don't go without during the day - I leave them more hay the night before.) I've missed out on a lot of things I'd like to do - there's no way I've been able to feed, load up a horse and drive somewhere for a 9 am saddle time. My idea of the right time to saddle up is about - you guessed it - 4 pm.
I've decide I'm going to try to change this by getting into a morning routine. Now you early birds probably think I'm nuts - but if you've flip-flopped your days and nights for years on end, there is not such thing as a "routine".
I'm already waking up earlier and earlier (9 am IS early) but it's still difficult to function much before mid afternoon. But it's getting better - today I made it to the barn by 10:30... in the morning! Showered and ready to scoop. My horses were thrilled and the barn kitties were able to get down to some serious hunting.
So tonight I'll set up the coffee pot and who knows, I'll get to see a sunrise yet.
