The biggest obstacle facing this challenge is getting out of the bed in the morning. ANNA notedly arises at 5AM. I arose at 5;30AM during my working years, but since those ended, I have been rising rather late. Yes, the day does go faster, sometimes I wish I had more time, but the important thing is I get things done.
Even more important is having goals. If I have blog posts to write that day, I prioritize them. If I have a book so close to the end it can't wait, I will finish that first.
But, even before that, medication. I take my Levothyroxine, wait a half hour, then take my Cardizem, and start breakfast. I dive for the coffee, first, because like ANNA, we were both born in November, and coffee is crucial!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always drink it out of my "Song Of Bernadette" cup. I also have oatmeal and blueberries almost every morning. Of course, I share these with Baby Gojira and Little Pippin.
After taking my Met Formin, I head to the computer desk if I am writing and begin doing so. I usually write till noon, then take some time off, bathe and dress, and pick up wherever I left off. As far as summer fashions, hons, it is what makes you most comfortable. A stylish T-shirt with some shorts and/or comfortable long pants will certainly get you somewhere.
I answer and send out emails, field phone calls that need to be addressed, and sometimes go for an exercise walk, when the temperature is not steaming, as it is today. I walked yesterday. And meeting David at the restaurant tonight will be a walk in itself.
Which all goes to say that, while I may not be ANNA, I feel I am disciplined enough, and get things done, like she.
ANNA, darling, call me before things get busy. I could use a visit to Balthazar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
