Up early for no aparent reason

It’s now 7:30 AM, and I’ve been up for two hours. I got up to go get breakfast with a friend at 6, then I went for a walk.

It’s a bit overcast, so it’s not necessarally a gorgeous day, but it is nice to be up early when I don’t need to be, so I can just enjoy my morning in a relaxing way.

Anyone else up this morning just for the heck of it? Sipping coffee or tea? Listening to morning radio? Maybe haven’t showered or gotten dressed yet? I’m back in my robe (though I did put clothes on to get breakfast). :slight_smile:
Happy Thursday morning, Dopers!

One thing I will say is that the boards move with the speed of lightning in the morning.

Yep! Been up since six (2 hours ago) and still undressed and unshaven. I’ve got a nurse coming to visit in a few hours and no real reason to be up other than it’s what I do when the sun rises.

Drinking tea, listening to the rain, reading the boards, and writing letters.

Good morning, [b[Eonwe**!

and now my morning is officially over, as I have somewhere I actually need to be. Oh well.

And good morning to you too, Calladair. What kind of tea?

I got up at 9:30, after spiring joyfully into bed last night at 10:00.
I feel rested. Tea, anyone?

I was awake at 5’oclock this morning, but stayed in bed for a while playing with Pumpkin (the cat). When I hit the floor, the first thing that I did was to make coffee. On warmer mornings I have it on the screened porch. My favorite coffee is hazelnut. My favorite tea is chai (the Indian spiced variety).

Happy Thursday!

Eonwe, St. Michael’s Gold. We don’t have Marks & Spencer here anymore, but the trusty grocery store carries some tea and jellies that M&S carried. What’s your morning wake-me-up?

Lissla Lissar! For shame!

Zoe, can you drink the chai first thing in the morning? I like it in the afternoon. 'Twould be too rich on an empty belly for me.

Morning wake-me-up? Well, it’ll depend on my mood. Some days coffee. Some Earl Grey. Some days Darjeling. Other days just some herbal tea, like chamomile or mint.

Sorry- I was offering Orange Pekoe, although I do have green with ginger, jasmine, sticky toffee black tea, Darjeeling, genmaicha, Oolong, Assam…

What? Is there something wrong with sleeping in on my day off? I’m working all weekend! Have pity!

As much as I’d like to experience this, I’m afraid I’m just not a morning person. Even if I can’t sleep and am forced to get up, I am a zombie for the rest of the day.

But yeah, the boards are much faster early in the morning.
