Ugh
Open one eye. Yup its light out. Twist around to see the clock. 5:25. Why am I awake? Ooh too hot. Hot flash? Husband heat? Must throw off blanket and poke out toes. Ah better. Hips ache. Head is stuffy and dizzy. Should I get up? No. Must go back to sleep. Uhoh now what? Look at clock. 6:45. Steve's dressing, I didn't hear the alarm, or him getting up. Comatose, that's why. Must get up. Oh no. I don't hear him anymore. There's the clink of breakfast bowls. I fell asleep again. Ack, its 7:01! Must get up and pack lunches. Slowly, let the dizzy pass. Make sure the legs are somewhat steady. Shake off the achiness. Stand up. Walk. Welcome(?) to morning.

Alarm beeps. Takes a moment to realize it's not mine. Takes her a few minutes to turn it off. Don't even bother to check the clock; it is better not to know. Yep, out cold enough not to hear her get up, leave, apparently return again. Wake up, look at clock. Why do I always wake up 14 minutes before the alarm? I know, my own inner snooze button. Amazingly, I sleep for 9 of the 14 minutes, then watch the clock tick around to when the alarm should go off. Yeah, mornings are soo much fun. ;)
