rant about morning

rest and a good night's sleep helped and whatever i was fighting seems to have gone away. the only problem is that i was up by 5, left for the office @ 6:30, drove for an hour for a 2 hour client meeting, drove back.

unfortunately, i'm no morning person, especially this time of year. the frozen tundra just doesn't make walking the dog in the dark very inviting. even she doesn't want to get out of bed and cohercing 45 lbs of solid bulldog muscle to do something she doesn't want to do isn't easy under the most favourable conditions. even offering to play ball is met with skeptism and distain at dawn.

i like the idea of getting a jump on my day. getting a run out of the way. doing a few chores. it's just that my internal clock seems to favor night. maybe i can trick myself in the morning by pretending that it's after midnight -- both times it's dark, right? but how pathetic is that?
