happy Sunday morning

I have to be in Midtown this week for an offsite, work-related thing that starts at the ungodly hour of 8 AM (which I am so not happy about) so I’ve been getting up early so I can fall asleep early enough that I’m not completely wiped out when I have to leave my house a little after 7 to arrive in a timely fashion and launch into my best extrovert cosplay. Oddly enough, the best part about all of this is that I’m out in the living room before sunrise (because if I stay in the bedroom, I’ll just go right back to sleep) and I’ve been watching the day lighten as I have my first Diet Coke and go through all my feeds. The windows in the living room face southwest-ish so I don’t actually get to see the sunrise per se, but I do get to see the sky lighten around the tree branches of the woods at the back of our property. I’d still rather be asleep but it’s not a bad way to start the day.

I did finally get all the holiday decorations packed and properly returned to their storage area, which I also cleaned out with the help of BabyBoy. Yay? If I didn’t have to go pick up some packages I accidentally had sent to L’s, I might actually get the last of the boxes from the reno out of the living room. Regardless of the exact timing, though, the end (at least for this room) is in sight. That’s really a yay!

In other random work-related news, we move into our new office tomorrow and we have to start going in a couple days a week. They’re dangling all sorts of goodies (with middling success) in front of us to make the RTO order policy seem less heavy-handed, one of which is an on-site barista. I don’t actually drink coffee (hence the pre-dawn Diet Cokes), but far be it from me to not take advantage of a perk so I’ve been trying out various tea options. My favorite so far is a London fog (Earl Grey tea plus steamed milk) but I’m accepting suggestions so please tell me all about your favorite fancy tea drinks. ♥

It is SO brutal when we not only have to be up earlier than usual, but also have to be "on." There's nothing I like more than turning myself off at the end of the day.

I personally, love chai but can't handle ( physically not tastebuds) the sugar syrups, so while my first thought is to say" chai"! My immediate second thought is, only if it's not in syrup form, because they tend to be sugar based syrups with cardamom flavoring.

That's great news!
