5 More Minutes

My favorite feeling is waking up to the darkness, looking at my clock, and seeing that I still have time before the day takes me.

Then I snuggle back into my warm covers and just appreciate them until my alarm goes off, hitting snooze until the absolute last minute I have to get up to throw on clothes and start the day. My entire 15 minute wake up routine consists of 5 minutes to forage and throw on clothing + run fingers through hair, and 10 minutes sitting with a cup of coffee reading email or news articles while breathing in the fumes from my cup.

After that it's all downhill. The day runs away from me and it's another battle until I can safely tuck myself back into my covers, waiting for dawn to take me again.
