See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yikes. I just got the final version of a transcript of a deposition I defended this week-- between the rough and final drafts someone decided to "correct" the court reporter who was there and change my gender. Thanks, helpful party! That makes me feel oh so secure about the accuracy of the transcript.

I basically went to bed as soon as I got home last night, with short forays for food and kleenex. This morning, I had enough time to shower, leisurely get dressed, grab breakfast, and start a Supernatural ahem. Caught the bus, got coffee, which I promptly spilled all over myself, and got to the office more than ten minutes early.

Is this what it's like for normal people in the morning?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's pretty much official that rest rendered me mostly asymptomatic, and staying out late (although I feel properly rested right now) has brought them back.

I thought I was better! Just an annoying dry cough!

Yeah.

Well, this is normal for me, anyway.

Shrift, sort of. I mean, I get up, pump breastmilk, do the dishes, take medicine, fiddle with laundry and then go to the hospital, all before 5:00 AM, so maybe I am not an example of "normal" in the AM.

Trust my rage

Kat, are you always a morning person, or just recently?

Kat's an extreme morning person. I used to think my parents were, but no. Not even close.

I was talking with the team the other day, and we realized that everyone except our bosses would prefer to not show up until 11 or so. It's not fair!

I am totally a morning person. On Fridays, I have a group of people I meet for breakfast. at 5:30 AM. And this has been going on for over a year now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think I speak for all non-morning people when I say "There's a 5 *AM*???"

I fake being a morning person when I go several timezones out west. It's interesting, and I can see the appeal, except no way in hell can I keep it up once I get used to the time changes.
