I don't know how you Vampires can stay up so late?

The quiet moment of that first cup o' coffee standing on the porch, the feeling I get from the feeding and watering of all the critters, and knowing that I started out the day successful, no matter how it ends, is pretty worth it to me. Though I always regret not going to bed earlier...

 

That's tough and admirable work there luck there Luke.

I get up at 4:30 on weekdays, and although it's not for something as important as you do, my wife and I have been going to the gym at that hour on weekdays for well over a year.

I get that same feeling of having accomplished something after I get home and have a cup of coffee. Maybe I'll live an extra day or so!

 

I had two nights jobs, hated the hours and they extra pay wasnt worth it. I woulg get off shift 7am, head to Jims Restaurant to get an ice cream sunday-to relax with before heading home. I was in my early 20s then, and calories didnt count ;-))

 

Heh heh, trouble is, is I can get those samethings at 7am or 8am ;-))

 

Schnaps and Schnaps and some more Schnaps

 

Oooh Carl, thats nasty! It took me several hours of hard brainstorming to write this down, and now.........)

 

You can't be up at 7:30AM at 9AM. Just sayin.

 

Hi Lou, now THATS the life im talking about. Starting the day around 11 am and such ;-))

 

:lol::lol: Through a mind clouded up mit too much Schnapps :lol::lol:

 

I guess it depends on your ways, Lou! You're retired you've earned it...
I enjoy getting up early. I like being up before everyone else in the house. That "alone" time is cherished. It's all chores and work and business after that short time. Soon it'll be morning chores done the night before, so I can be up and out before the dawn to hit the spring turkey hunt. And then it's back to the chores. It's garden time a'coming, and the goats and birds gotta eat and their breakfast comes before mine. Then the man gets his time from me. Yup, it may be a bit earlier than most like to rise, but I'll take that time.

 

Too much noise here, I got a barking mad neighbour that bangs on the walls late in the night, another one that comes in late with a bang crash wallop I'm home just to let you all know. My sleeping pattern has been totally wreck over the last ten years and sleeping pills are a joke.

 

Well that explain's the avatar!

 

Richard what have you tried? I've tried all the prescription ones, all the melatonin and beet root extract hippie crap I can find...I don't sleep either. Not from noisy neighbors, just something inherited I guess.

 

Off the shelf and prescriptions...Had a chat with my new Doc and he said most pills today are rubbish.

 

Yeah mine says the same thing. He also told me that it's all in my head that I can't sleep. I told him next time I was up all night I'd call him and we'd chat about it.

 

That will please him.

 

I work nights (1630-0430), so it's pretty easy for me to stay up nights.
