The Fitbit is saying I slept 2 1/2 hours last night. I kept getting awoken by terrible charley horses.

Sorry employer, I've tried to tell you that that first hour should go on the other end of the day.

This is me. For years when our President was a very rules-oriented Morning Person I had to drag in at 9am and work basically got nothing productive out of me for the first hour of the day. Now I typically make it into the office 30-40 minutes later but stay after 6 and get tons more done in that last hour.

My sister's cat has a serious yogurt addiction.

My mother once had a cat that loved the yogurt coating on raisins, but not raisins. So mom would bit off the coating, eat the raisins, and feed the coating to the cat.

But we never overindulged our cats. Nope. Never.

Ha!

I've become the kind of person who wants to be in the office well before 9, but I'm still not an early bird per se. What I am is someone who needs enough morning time to have breakfast etc before I have to deal with things, and am generally OK with setting an alarm for whatever time that needs to be. Of course, over the weekend, my mother came down ranting and raving at me before I had even brewed coffee and I had to tell her to go away.

(NB: The ranting and raving was nothing to do with me, but I could not handle it pre-breakfast.)

I am a morning person in the sense that I enjoy the peaceful time of being awake when a lot of other people are not and leaving the TV and radio etc off and sipping a coffee and or doing yoga while the sun rises. I like the same sort of stuff late at night, also, especially standing under a clear sky looking up at the moon/stars/whatever is available and having no actual thoughts in my head.

Could pretty much fall asleep at virtually any time, though, and waking up because I have to be awake is always difficult.

I love a long morning runway!

A question for any 'ffistas who may live in apartments. Does your lease say anything about weapons? This being Utah, I wouldn't be surprised if any of my neighbors are using their spare bedroom for an armory. My lease was explicit on banning pets and smoking, but nary a word on weapons or booze--except they prefer you not wave your identifiable containers around obnoxiously if you're partaking on your balcony on a lovely summer evening.

Are any of your landlords putting weapons policies in your leases?

(There's another kerfuffle about concealed guns vs. open carry etc. in the state legislature, and I got to wondering)

I just decided to save my file full of leases (although not every rider), so I might be able to answer this when I get home!

Looks like the NYC standard lease (several of the leases I left in the file) says no noise, no pets, no satellite tv, rugs are required, but that's about it: [link]
