Early morning.. blues?!

I'm not an early riser by any means... 7:30 is early for me, on an average day... ofcourse on an average day I also have to make it to office in time so I wake up a whole 15 mins earlier... At my most active, I can wake up in the morning and do yoga/meditation (for half an hr, ok 15 mins), have a bath (there's a reason I'm specifying this - because I know many people who go to office without having a bath in the morning in winters, and I'm of the variety who can't step out of the house even for grocery without having one, summer or winter!), grab a toast and rush out.. At my laziest, I have a bath and rush out... Weekends are a whole different ballgame... 7:30 AM is like midnight, whether or not I was out the night before... and usually when I do wake up around 9:30 or so, it takes me ages to surface and come to normality... I mean, if I have to travel then it doesn't matter, but if I am at home, then it seems like a waste of time waking up early on a weekend!

Anyways, today I woke up at 7:30... on a Saturday! It was sacrilege! But I had to wake up "early" because my cousin was going to give her SAT and I wanted to wish her luck... I went back to bed after vaguely giving her a hug and saying something to the likeness of "Don't drink too much of that juice you're taking with you, you'll waste time going to the bathroom"!!! Tsk tsk, such sound advice from big sis.. she must really treasure me!

But I couldn't go back to sleep (which has never been a problem with me before), so for want of anything better to do, I started clearing up my room.. That done, I did my laundry, and one thing led to another and I found I was vacuuming (everyone else in the house was already awake - yeah, they're the type who wake up at 6 on weekends too.. hmmm), setting my cupboard straight, finishing a sudoku puzzle (that's my current timepass, I know I'm late to join the craze but what the hell!), AND making breakfast for everyone!! My aunt was literally staring at me the whole time, and I think she started giggling when I reached for the duster to clear the dust in the family room (there was a whole load of construction happening at home the past week, hence the dust)...

And I was done with all this by 9!

And now I have the rest of the day to do nothing! Hehehe... It feels good because on other weekends I'd also bum around, but I would know I need to finish my work and I'd start by around 11, which is LATE by the standards set in this house... It's important to note that I love cleaning, it's therapeutic for me! I've done it since I was a kid, it's actually my favourite thing to do on a Sunday morning! Only issue is that the timing is all wrong!!!

But today is great because I've been a good girl :) And I'm feeling so fresh and energetic having woken up to the early morning air, I think I'm going to go shopping! Guilt-free!There are so many more things I can pack into one day that I think this "wake up early" lecture I keep getting may actually have something to it!

So here's hoping I can wake up in good time every weekend and have more time to do stuff (read: nothing)!
