Adventures in Life and Writing

This morning as I sit in front of my computer nursing sore muscles, I am reminded of why I generally don’t get up early and definitely don’t use my computer in the early hours in my room.

I don’t have shades in my room so the sun is shining not only on my shoulder, but it’s making the computer screen hard to see.  While it does feel good on my shoulder, not seeing the screen is a problem.

I am, by nature, a night owl.  I prefer to stay up late and get up late.  It’s not that I don’t love the sun, because I do (I just hate when it gets too warm, which is anything over 85 degrees Fahrenheit).  But I love stargazing and I love being alone.  And being up late means I’m more likely to have time alone.  I also love sleeping, which often lends to ending up staying up later and later.

In any case, I’ve gotten up early the past few days.  This is aided by not only the workouts I’ve been doing, that make me get tired earlier in the day, but I somehow have managed to get my sleeping schedule turned around and am actually dragging myself out of bed in the early hours, rather than sleeping in.  The benefits include getting to workout without anyone else around (I hate when people watch me workout) and well, I just seem to be getting more stuff done now.

The only thing I plan on doing today is going for a walk.  I didn’t end up doing the walking video last night, instead I lifted the dumbbells for about half an hour and I’m definitely feeling the effects of that now.  I also started doing the stairs again, but I’m not aiming for a particular number right now, I’m just trying to make myself go up and down them when I wouldn’t necessarily need to.  I’m already up to three times this morning and I’m about to do a fourth because I forgot to grab something while I was down there last time.

So, I will basic in this sun for a few more minutes before I jog back down the stairs, grab the items I need and then I’ll move my computer to a much less sunny spot so I can do some computer work before I start working on noveling or going for a walk.
