Alarm Clock

Whenever the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I grumble and push snooze multiple times, trading a little bit of restless sleep for more time to start my day in a mellow way.  I wait until the last minute, leaving just enough time to rush through my morning prep and make it to work only a few minutes late. 
I treat life as if it's an inconvenience that gets in the way of my sleep and alone time.  This is not fair to myself.  Life is not something that interrupts the time spent in bed or in a cocoon of solitude.  Work is not an inconvenience.  It's something that you do to work your brain and make some money.  I'd like to embrace the day and look forward to what my efforts will achieve instead of see tasks as burdens. 
This morning I had a green smoothie with spinach, apple, kiwi, banana, carrots, and apple juice in it.  It was pretty good.  But I used a knife with a plastic handle to mush the spinach down and there ended up being a few chunks of black plastic in the smoothie.  Healthy!  I took my vitamins and had a half cup of coffee.  I think I'm going to go find some more coffee here at work and then rock this bitch out.  I have about 3 days of work to catch up on today.  I'm also going to see a(nother) show tonight.  4 on the Floor at First Ave.  I'm sticking with PBR (no liquor) and getting some sleep tonight because I need to work on my garden this weekend. 

Thought of the day:  Life is not an inconvenience.
