When I was gainfully employed as a teacher and then administrator I'd get up at 5:00AM. This actually dates back to kindergarten and always being an early riser. I was legend and it was the reason why my friend John called me at 4:30 one morning to tell me he had skidded through the Greenwich toll on the Merritt Parkway on the driver door of is snappy Fiat Convertible. His first question at that time was , "Hi, John, What are you doing"?
Now that I have no budgets to approve, no evaluations to write, no weekly newsletters to send to staff, I find that my ETW, estimated time of wake up has been slipping to 5:30 to 6 and today 7:00! Slacker. I have not had to pay attention to time since June 22 but I have noticed that approximately every 2 months my wake up time has been pushed back by 30 minutes or so.
This new normal will take some getting use to as I have always prided myself on waking early and making the most of the day. Most would say that 7 is still early enough to catch the worm, but I can't help but feel guilty that time has passed and I wasn't awake to experience it.
