Vacation Day

Here it is 6:30 a.m. and I don't have to go to work today. I suppose many would take the opportunity to sleep in, but not me. I am just one of those people who do not "sleep in". I am up between 4 - 5:00 a.m. every day. I tend to wake earlier when I don't have to go to work. Like today I was up at 4:00 a.m. I LOVE to get up in the morning. Mornings are my energetic time. My mother is the same way. When I hear others talk about how hard it is to get up in the morning, I am very thankful that I inherited this wonderful trait. On the flip side, you will almost never find me awake past 10:00 p.m.

I tell you all of this so that maybe you will understand (and not think it is totally WEIRD) that I have already completed these odd tasks by 6:30 a.m.:

I took everything out of my tupperware-like container cupboard, washed the cupboard out, tossed some items and put the keepers back in nice & tidy.


I have removed everything from this lazy Susan cupboard and washed it all out. I have not put everything back in yet because I want DH to check all the screws and adjust the door.
I have one of those pull-out wastebasket cupboards and have taken it all apart and washed it down with bleach to disinfect it.

All in all I am feeling pretty good because no matter what else I do today (which may be nothing), I have already accomplished a couple of chores.

Oh, guess what I found in the tupperware cupboard?

The Pringles can! Well, actually it's a Lay's potato chip container. I guess when I cleaned the other cupboard, I moved it here and forgot that I did it.

Anyway, I obviously don't need it now, so it got the big toss along with a few other lidless containers.



Now I have the whole rest of the day to do whatever I want! I wonder what I will want to do...............

  4. I've always been a night owl. It's not unusual if I'm still up at 1-1:30 am. I get up between 9-10 and do most of my chores from 11 to the late afternoon. My mom said I use to turn night into day when I was a baby. And my son is a night owl too.

  5. Kathy, I just went and took a look. How unique are those ornies? WOW. So cute.

    Sharon, I know you are probably so right! LOL.

    Pat, 1974. That's when I got those. Good quality...that tupperware! It was guaranteed for life back then, is it still? I wonder.......I have some cracked lids.........I'd be too embarrassed to go ask for a new lid after 33 years!!!

    Diane, I actually thought of you when I made this post. I know we are exact opposites in that category. You probably do cleaning after 9 p.m.? I'd rather have my toe nails pulled out with tweezers than start to clean after 9:00pm!! Well ............ maybe I'd rather clean...............hee hee.

  7. Okay, Zoey, I now understand how you get so much done in a day. 4 or 5AM?? This is where our universes diverge. I have to force myself to get out of bed at 6:30AM and it's the toughest thing I do all day.

    On the flip side, I can't go to bed early. I aim for midnight and I have to read in bed for awhile first.

    I would say you are lucky to be an early-riser. I can only aspire to it!
