Okay, so I exaggerate. I have seen sunrises before. Granted it's usually grumpily, and reluctantly. But with the new job, I now have to drive to work. But excitingly the banker and I work within five minutes of each other. So to save gas we carpool. Which sounds like a great idea, but I am a night person and he is a morning person. He likes to get up and go to the gym. My inner Scrooge gets the better of me and as much as I love sleep, I love saving even more.
The first morning:
5:30- NPR clicks on with the morning news. The Banker promptly gets up and begins getting ready. I roll on my stomach, slide a foot tentatively down to the ground.
5:33- The banker goes downstairs, leaving the damn radio on. I cover head with pillow and poke toes of other foot out from under the covers.
5:35- NPR Jingle blars, alarm clock is too far away from the bed for me to slam off. I slide lower half of my body out of the bed and kneel. This allows my upper half to remain snugly under covers.
5:37- The banker is back upstairs, and in an effort to show I am a good sport, I jump up and bound into a nice shower.
I have to admit, I was at a loss as to what to do downtown while he was at his gym. But walked around and scored a just pulled out of the fryer toffee donut from Bleu for $0.89!
