I accept my debilitating addiction

Kate and I had been making separate plans to get up at, as AJ would call it, “o’dark stupid” and go to the gym before work, and this morning we combined forces and went together.  By which I mean “she knocked on my door and got me out of bed at 6:00.”

It went pretty well, I think.  I think next time I’m going to leave later so I can have coffee beforehand.  Usually I stumble out of bed and toward the coffee grinder first thing, and I hadn’t gone without in a long time so I forgot how cranky (and specifically impatient) an extended period awake without caffeine can make me.  I have no patience with anyone…or, worse still at the gym, with myself.
