Woke up 0855. Got up very few minutes later, had breakfast, copied some very interesting archive recordings (speech) from open-reel tape to CD.

I found my dads old reel to reel tape machine in the loft a few monhts back. Had not been used for 40 years but still worked. Also had some very rare speech (me when i was 2).

Much to my joy one of the tapes was full of Acker Bilk.

I woke up late today, around 8:00am.  I was so tired this morning for some reason.

I got up, had my coffee and studied studied studied.  Got a few hours of piano practice in too.

You're surely not telling me you're over the age of 42?  :o

I'm just thankful the no one in my parents' household knew how to use a recording machine until I came along, so there are NO recordings of me at 2, nor indeed 12. Wouldn't mind the odd bit of Acker Bilk, though, he was quite a classy performer as I recall.

3:48 Karli?! :o

That's not early, that's late - the only time I see that hour is when I'm up late!

It's the weekend, so I slept in and put in a short day.  I was up around 7:30 and out the door at 9:30.

First thing I do when I wake up is have a big gulp of water, it's dry around here.  Then I do the dishes from yesterday, no dishwasher so by hand - which is a good way to wake up the fingers.

Then practice, read, surf the net, breakfast, coffee, mighty poo, off to work and I'm unstoppable!

Woke up at 6.30am and spent most of the morning trying to stop my skirt from blowing up in the wind.
I wrote a rather interesting and slightly strange Japanese speech, read some Macbeth out aloud, had a flute lesson, and got my Psychology test back as well.

Woke up at 4, turned off my alarm. Finally got out of bed at 4:30 to finish one chemistry lab write up, then realized I actually had 2 labs to finish. I ended up finishing at 6:50, which left time for a five minute shower and then off to catch the bus. The school day started at 7:40 with orchestra, where I had to brave the embarrassment of being 4th chair. Then AP Chem at 8:45, with a teacher who contradicts herself every 5 minutes and absolutely cannot stand making mistakes (she actually claimed that she had made a mistake intentionally to test our alertness!)
Then Study Hall at 9:50, which should have been nice except that I found out from someone else that I hadn't gotten an A on yesterday's physics test (not surprising, as I remembered the test about an hour before taking it, but still). And then lunch at 10:50, which I guess ends my morning  :-\
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

Got up -- no, more like startled awake -- at 4 am, by the sound of some dog yapping.  Went outside, and it was Karli's dog, tramping all over my petunia bed.  Yelled at it and shooed it away, but noticed I'd stepped in doggy doo. 

(Thanks, Karli, and good morning to you, too.  You and Toto are going over that rainbow together if you wake me this early again!)

p.s.  stopped by thal's workplace at lunchtime to see if he wanted to grab a pint with me, but he was already passed out under his desk. 

My day so far:  A NO FUN-ZONE DAY.

Cai Hong heard her housemaid making a lot of noise cooking in the kitchen,then Cai Hong couldn't sleep anymore (she is pretty sensitive with noise...she could not sleep anymore if she heard something lol) but she shut her eyes tightly hopefully she could resumed her slumber,but nah can't.Then her housemaid knocked her room to fully wake her up.It was 5 AM.With head on stars she searched for her glasses on her bed.She put it on her face and walk sleepily to the living room

((Geez,I wonder what's going to happen today...))

She said in her mind.Then she took a bath and put on her school uniform,took her breakfast while her sisters woke up and bla-bla-bla...

Okay, this morning was pretty early for me  :P.


Awake by 2:47am --thinking  (though I may have snoozed a bit after that),
Up by 3:30am -- coffee, dishes, thinking, writing in my journal, etc.
Practicing by 4:20(ish)am

Practicing w/headphones on my Roland digital in the garage  :)
So far it's a pretty great day :)

I moved my piano into the garage a couple of years ago and it was a great idea. I can practice anytime i want to and can have the volume switched up high.

The only downside was when i stopped practicing a family of earwigs moved in and started eating it.

Yeah, this is the first morning we have tried it.  My sleeping schedule has become its very own thing and instead of fighting it, I have decided to go with it.  It's like all I want to be doing is playing  :-, so I go ahead and get up now and play.  I guess this has happened before, but somehow this is still different.  Anyway, even practicing on my digital in the house was waking my hubby because he could hear the keys even though I have been wearing earphones.... our house is maybe a bit on the itsy side. :-.

The downside is that it has to be moved into the garage every evening and then out of the garage every morning because I also use it for teaching.  Ah well  :).

Well, I woke at 1:30am this morning and said "No way, Jose" and was able to get back to sleep until 3:30am.  At which time I pondered life a bit, got up and got myself going.

Practicing by 4:20ish again.  I like this schedule in some ways for now.  It's for some reason really nice to get up while it's still dark out and just have such a quiet and restful outward experience while I go about my business practicing.

Cheers to all :)

I woke up at 11:49.   AM.  A little later than normal.  Haha.  I can't believe that but I can believe I was very tired.  First thought when waking up -- That clock is wrong.  Second though with a rush of alertness -- What day is it?  No need for coffee today.

Good day.  Productive day.

2:16 AM.  Wasn't *entirely* thrilled about that, but by about 3:30 AM I finally realized I wasn't going back to sleep and dragged myself out of bed.  I am about to start my wonderful practicing for the day, and I am feeling surprisingly chipper and in good spirits.  Maybe even quite "on task" ...

Got up at 6:45am to read bible for a bit. Drank orange juice, got ready and left for work at 8:15am. Finished work at 5:15pm after a very busy day, I missed my hour off :(
Stay tuned :P
