ugh, mornings

[curgoth]

Today, I woke up at 6:00 instead of 6:30. This is round one of my attempts to fix my schedule so that I can get the amount of exercise I should be getting.

I had hoped that getting up and leaving the house 30 minutes early might get me a bit more than 30 minutes early to work, by avoiding the rush, but I was foiled by bus schedules and subways taking naps in tunnels.

One of the nice things about the new place is that there will be one less bus trip involved; while the first bus trip is only 10 minutes, when you factor in waiitng and the occasional burst of traffic, it essentially adds 20-30 minutes to my commute every day.

I'm not a fan of mornings... It was still fairly dark when I woke up this morning. While I suppose getting up at 6:00 is nothing compared to what, say, kalivor or tafkar put up with, it's still icky.

Gah ... don't remind me of dark mornings. Winter will be back all too soon, and I'll forget what sunlight is like ...

Back when I was a monstercommuter, I worked at downsview airforce base, in winter. So I'd be up at 5am, and wouldn't sdee the sun until I emerged from the subway for a 5 minute walk to work, where I'd spend the whole day in a room without windows. Then, by the time I left work, it'd be pitch black again. those are the rough days...
