Morning jeers

The virtues of waking up early morning are lost one me.
Not that I didn't wake up early today! Of course I did. Well, not THAT early. I woke up at 7 in the AM and that is early enough.

My ideal time I believe for waking up is anytime after 8:30, anything before that is not for me.. yet here I am, a few minutes after 9, looking at my pristine floors, the yet to be cleaned glass cabinet and yet to be sorted clothes almirahs and I agree to have been slacking, but my lord in my defence I have been at something or the other every day, and everything is time consuming.

Yes, I shall get on with my pending work and I have to but a friend has invited me for a languorous walk today somewhere in the offing and I haven't said No, in fact I wrote back an emphatic Yes! Because it's the second day in a row when the weather has let out some sun rather begrudgingly and because I have not the mood nor the heart to stay indoors anymore.

Right, about waking up early. Some people manage to master the art of it and some people like me can't and won't.
And I have absolutely nothing but envy for those who fling their covers before dawn breaks in and get on with life increasing the number of hours in their day and sleeping early!
Now that's a problem. The whole sleeping early bit. I am not the person to turn in by 10. In fact I like to sleep by 11:30 usually and anything before that doesn't feel right.

I'm also not the one for sunrises as I'm for sunsets. Is there a pattern here?

However I do not look down upon anyone who is an early riser, as I've mentioned I'm in awe of such people but early rising category of people are a bunch of assholes at times who look down upon us later wakers. Is there such a term?
Never mind there is now.

I was talking of my daily morning challenges with someone who is a decidedly early riser and a part of the family from people's side and feels rather smug about it too.

I was casually asked as to what time I'd woken up and this was a conversation from yesterday which mind you was a Sunday and I replied most truthfully that I'd woken up at 9:30.

'What??' Came a surprised almost mocking reply.
'Half my day is done and over with by 9:30' I was told rather snootily.

I replied with a smiling 'congratulations' followed by a slow slip on my tea and this was constituted as extremely rude! Extremely rude mind you.

My end of the conversation ended there but theirs didn't and a lot of what remained was accentuated with remarks upon my rude behaviour.
Made me feel a bit warm inside to know I've offended someone and that too with a harmless congratulations.

Ah! I've still got it!

Right then, this is a long post.
I shall write more after a cuppa tea.

Bisous.
