I'm guessing it's my usual winter SAD nonsense, plus the holidays and vacation days I've recently had, but the last few months I've had the most difficult time getting out of bed in the morning. Saturday morning I slept until 11:15. This is absolutely unheard of for me... my "comfortable" wake up time, with no alarm, is 9am. If I go to bed after 1am, it might be 9:30 or 10. But to fall asleep at 11pm and wake up 12 hours later is ridonculous. I felt awful the rest of the day. Just tired and anxious and cranky and BLEGH.
So Sunday I set my alarm for 9:30 and dragged myself out of bed when it went off - had gone to bed around 2am and was slightly hungover, but wanted to be extra tired when evening rolled around in order to facilitate an easy wake up this morning (alas...) Hubs and I met some friends for a noontime brunch, where I resisted the urge of bacon and french toast and eggs fried in butter, and ordered an egg white scramble with diced ham. According to the menu it was not supposed to come with homefries, but since we knew the waitress I think she gave them to me anyway - oh well. I ate about half of them. Ugh, and also, yum.
One of my bestest is going back to her home in NYC today (or tomorrow?) and I shall miss her terribly. It's been nice having you around, m'dear. I hope 2009 is very good to you, and hopefully we can come see you sometime in the not-too-distant future.
The year 2009 is only 5 days old, and I'm feeling pretty optimistic about it so far. Money will be tighter than usual, what with all the things we want to accomplish this year, and the week down the Cape we'll be taking again, and the three weddings this summer, and the wanting-to-save-for-a-house thing. My new gym opens this month, and since I'm already feeling motivated lately, that will only serve to increase my enjoyment (most days) of working out. I have another review at work coming up in the next couple of months, and hopefully that will go well too. I may have just enough optimism to get me through these long winter months.
Maybe I'll even start waking up when I'm supposed to...
Here's to the new year.

Happy New Year! Hurrah for your optimism.
I have NEVER been a morning person. The only time I enjoy getting up early is when I am in Maine, and I can't wait to get up, coffee in hand, and watch the seals play.
Turns out I'm leaving tomorrow, and not because the madre guilted me into it. Nope, I got a little sick from some lobster bisque last night. 'Twas not fun. My stomach is finally feeling better this afternoon, so tomorrow I will be on the Bolt Bus (I've never ridden it before, but they have free wi-fi!).
I will miss you too, m'lady! Hopefully girls' weekend will happen soon, and then of course we'll have a springtime beer garden/brewery tour. :)
And remember, you rule. ;)
