Can't Trust that Day
Mondays are not good for me. And no, it's not because I hate Mondays or because Mondays are the beginning of the common work week. I'm not that much of a cliché. I hate Mondays because I'm always late. I stay up 'til all hours on the weekends, and that spills into Sunday which spills into Monday morning. For instance, I was awake and active until 4 a.m. on Saturday morning. I was in the middle of stuff, and I didn't want to stop. So I didn't. I was up until 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning doing similar things. Then Sunday night I stayed awake watching videos until midnight. So Monday morning, when my alarm woke me up at 7 a.m., I promptly turned it off and went back to sleep. It's a terrible habit I have. In fact, I can't remember turning the alarm off or even hearing it go off for that matter. I just know I did turn it off. How do I break this habit, especially when I'm such a nightowl? I've tried to move my alarm clock to another part of my room so I will have to get out of bed to turn it off, but I guess I'm so lazy that I can't will myself to stay up. That's the magic word: lazy. Not too proud of that, but hey, I'm human. Poke me, I bleed. So maybe I can set multiple alarms to make me wake up. My cell phone has a marvelously piercing ringer on it that would work as an alarm clock. That should make a difference, huh?
