My alarm sounded this morning with its familiar tone, startling me from my night of slumber. "Surely it can't be 5:30," I thought to myself. Like normal, I pressed snooze once, then again, and again, until I finally crawled out of bed at 6:15. It's a good thing it doesn't take me long to get ready for school. I was running late due to my excessive snoozing and had intended to forgo my morning cup of coffee. However, as I walked into my kitchen, my Keurig seemed to be beckoning me, begging me to brew a single cup of coffee. I gave in and enjoyed the hot, dark, liquid shot of caffeine as I drove to school.
While it was a little hard to get up this morning (especially for someone who is not a morning person), in so many ways, it seemed like any other morning. It was familiar. It was routine. It was normal. As much as I enjoyed my break, in many ways, it was nice to return to normal. I like normal and I enjoy my routine. Sure, I'm a little sleepy today and my bedtime will inevitably come much earlier tonight, but I appreciate the familiar and enjoy the comfort of my daily routine.
Now if I can just avoid hitting snooze in the morning...
