How do you wake up in the morning?

Up like a lark, cleaning and washing up before sitting down for a cuppa.
Waking up with a song in your head and a smile on your face sounds like a wonderful way to start the day though. ❤🙏

To avoid the shock of the alarm tune I usually awaken an hour prior. It's like my sleeping brain knows it is coming so it gets me up in anticipation so I can turn it off before it start making that horrible noise. By the time I get the alarm deactivated I become aware of the peaceful solitude of twilight and silence, and decide that it can be even better enjoyed while sipping a cup of coffee. So it's just me and the coffee for the next hour or two. Such intense contentment that if I still feel sleepy I can go back to bed later, but for the moment it's just me and the coffee.

This morning because it is Saturday and I could sleep past 7 I woke up hearing Kiwi, my parakeet, yelling over and over “You see, right?” You see?” She was wanting me to get up and take them out to the sun room so they could enjoy the cool air and listen to the wild birds this morning. So I got up and put them out in the sun room. Then they started saying “Thank you.”

Tired. Needing coffee. Once I get into my routine im good.

I spend the first few minutes sitting at the side of my bed because at my age, I'm prone to early am dizziness and a little cognitive impairment that goes away fairly quickly.

This morning I woke up with my friend holding my hand. She stayed over last night and we were chatting in bed until we went to sleep 🙂

I wake up groggy. I can't focus, and it takes me about three hours to feel "awake".

Generally sad and already depleted.

I wake up in the morning wanting some breakfast, but there's no margarine to spread on my toast !

I lay awake, toss around, sneeze, sit up, take my thyroid pill, and begin my day. 😀

Sometimes I just kick the covers off and just lay there

I wake-up and rush to restroom.🙂

Wishing I hadn't

By opening my eyes.
Period.
