So what happens when you go to bed at 8:30 pm?
… you get up at 4:00 am.ugh. that was me this morning. and the answer is … what? you get goofy? umm yeah … but I’ll get to that in a minute.
Now it’s almost 4:00 pm and I’m just getting around to writing my daily blog post for #nablopomo. I couldn’t think of anything to write so I popped over to BlogHer to check out the prompts. The question for today is “What is the first thing you do every single day (I mean, after you hit the snooze button)? When did that step in your routine begin?”
OK. So I guess the first thing I do (or at least the first thing I do that you want to hear about) is I make coffee, and then drink it. That started in about grade 10 … . Post done. Check.
Not.
I must elaborate. Today I got up at 4:00 because I couldn’t get back to sleep. Which means I probably was awake at 3:30. Ugh. Oh well. I made coffee then picked up my phone and started checking IG. After a bit I thought I should post a photo. So, (because it was still pitch black outside) I had to go into the archives where I pulled out this image of Goatsbeard I’ve been sitting on since late August.
So I’ve determined that, when you go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 4:00, you:
- Write silly posts with really long titles which Google hates.
- Write posts that score BAD on the SEO scale. If fact the SEO of this post is N/A. I don’t even have a red dot, it’s black.
- Bring things out of the archives (for better or worse).
- Have a bit of fun.

That’s me most mornings….I’m in bed by 9ish…asleep by 9:30ish…up at 4 cause I can’t hold the bladder anymore…and arguing with myself that I can hold it starts earlier…sometimes I can drift for another hour because 5 is WAY better than 4! Great post Barb.

That’s so me! I can’t hold my head up(fall asleep on the sofa) after 9pm so I go to bed. I’m thrilled if I sleep until 5am! Coffee is good for you.
I’m so enjoying your blog. You are inspiring me to get mine going again(with out saying I’m sorry for not blogging…hehe)

I can imagine how tired you get if you’re getting up sooooo early. But I’ve really enjoyed your blog post anyway! You have a wonderful sense of humor no matter how much sleep you’ve had (or not had). You’ve inspired me to consider starting up a new blog . I was beating myself up for abandoning my first blog after very few posts (for some really silly reasons). Your Blogging Bits and Bytes has been really helpful and encouraging. Your posts are always beautiful and written with a sense of appreciation for the beauty around us every day and an attitude of fun. Thank you for being you!
