I wake and have a cup of tea, but even that is a labor, to keep my eyes opened. I try to get a jumpstart with icy cold water on my face, it helps my eyes to not feel quite as hot and heavy from sleep. . . Then, I sit in the cushy chair, while my husband sits drinking his coffee nearby, our feet touching on the stool between us. We talk a bit about the day before or the day to come and then it is time to move.
Morning poem
Asleep
Coffee and cold water
Eyes still heavy
Quiet, slow waking in the still darkness soft chair morning
Stretch
Build sandwiches,
stuff backpacks,
Move
match socks,
wake children, wash hair
Pull on pants
Where are my red shoes?
Stop arguing.
Where's your coat it's only 15 degrees?!
Awake
