Waking Up

Despite my sunny personality and seemingly bouncy energy, most folks who know me would find it surprising to be around me first thing in the morning.  When I wake up, it takes a loooong time before I am my usual joyful self.  Odd I know.  But when I first wake up I am frequently cranky, easily irritable, and even suicidal at times.  I am just not good with waking up, nor the first couple of hours after I have awakened.  Here's an example, this morning's inner dialogue betwee Myself, Me and I:

Myself: Ugh! What time is it? Oh, no way. I am still tired. 

I: No! No, no, no, no!!! Forget it, it is time to get up. We are getting up!

Me: WEEE!!! Time to rise and shine!!! The sun is bright, no clouds in the sky, birds are singing, the temperatures are warmer than yesterday.... oh, even garbage trucks are out. The world is alive and kicking and we are being far too lazy.

Myself: Garbage trucks? *groans* Seriously? You're trying to convince me that trucks are going to get me up? The world feels like such an ugly place... rather stab my eyeballs out.  Sleeping in again. Thank you! Go away both of you!

Me: Up and at 'em!!! We don't want to waste the day. Life is too short!

I: *turns to Myself* She did say the sun is shining. 

Myself: Oh my gosh!! We are still on vacation for several more weeks, and we should be doing whatever we please, and sleep is not gonna kill anyone here!!!!

I: That's it. We already slept 10 hours.  We're getting up. Let's go! *turns to Me* I got one leg, you grab the other would ya!

Me: HURRAAAAAAY!

Myself: NO! NO NO NO!!! STOP!! YOU WRETCHES!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!! LET ME GO! NO! I HATE YOU!! AAAAH!
