Up at just before 3:00 this morning, and I have been doing some house chores to pass the time, stuff that I didn't get done over the weekend. My cats are on an apartment rampage playing, so they get some of my time, too. Having a coffee and listening to the news as well.

My past week was kind of hard mentally, so I am hoping for a better pass at things starting today.

Dragon, when much younger, I had recurring dreams (nightmares?) of bridges with no edges, or sides and I was forced to low crawl along the edge. Very scary.

Chloe, 11 degrees!? I wore a sweater-type blouse today because it's in the 50's. What a wimp!

Up at 0410. Haven't gotten up at my regular time in a month. Very grateful.

04:15 -- went to bed pretty early and got a decent night of sleep. Have things to get done at work today that I'm looking forward to ticking off my list if possible, that's a good feeling this early. Wishing you all a great day ahead of you.

Waiting for the baby to arrive. A full schedule today. I don’t know how I worked full time and juggled kids when I was young. 30 years is a big difference though. I’m grateful to be old now!

A great Tuesday to all.

Been up early decorating a little bit more.
Maybe it will inspire me to bake cookies!

Can't believe I got up when alarm went off at 0410. Toss and turned between 3-4am.

Guener, I know what you mean about a hard week. Most of November was tough for me but got through it knowing "This shall too pass."

Imvalentine, don't know about you but I truly didn't expect to live this long (back then the way I was living). So glad I did! So far I'm having a ball in my 60's.

Chloe, please inspire me to decorate! No one is coming to the house so my motivation is just about nonexistent. Sure, I could decorate and be festive for Mr. Ringo and myself.

I may be getting used to waking up early again.
Another full day ahead.
I’m looking forward to Friday and I don’t even work!

A great Wednesday to all.

Part of being up early is to enjoy one's time to relax. I'm trying to do just that, and I am going to take a calming warm shower to put my mind in a reasonable place with my body on how to tackle the day. It's the middle of the week for me, and I'm looking forward to today as best as I can do forthwith.

I'm enjoying the day so far too!

Up at 0410. 3rd day in a row starting the day with push-ups, sit-ups, and a few minutes of exercise on the mini trampoline. I still need coffee though.

Ringo,
If you start with looking at one special ornament...really looking at it and what it stands for...all the great memories and when it makes you smile...that is the time to decorate!
Your heart justs tells you it is time to express the true meaning of Christmas.
Hope that helps!♡

Bah Humbug. I decided against a tree this year. But we did get a small three footer with lights built in. That's all I'm doing this year.

Up at 4:16 for work.

We we have an artificial tree that is prelit so it’s easy to put up and decorate. I enjoy putting up all the ornaments the kids made over the years. My daughter helps me with that. I no longer put up outside lights or any other decorations. No one else helps or cares, and I lack time this month to do things above the usual.

Have a a good day all!

8 1/2 hours of needed and wonderful sleep. I have an appointment at 9:00 and that’s it. Baby will be here this evening. She makes me smile.

A great Thursday to all.

Thanks Chloe. Hopefully I'll do a little decorating this weekend. I wear festive clothes at least--Christmas earrings, brooches, lots of red.

Got up at 0408 (two minutes before alarm but actually woke up around 0330).
