Morning Rituals?

I rarely do anything in the morning. All my life, I worked nights. Unless there is a specific reason, I don’t do mornings and neither does my wife. Now that we are retired, we have that option.

Unfortunately, there are things for which I much awake early, a doctor appointment or to have my car serviced for instance. I might be able to get someone to take my car to have it serviced but I must always be present during my doctor appointments.

I have always felt it was unfair that the world would make those of us working at night bend our schedule to the world’s schedule. I mean, if I must go in at 8 or 9, that is the middle of my sleeping time. Then to make matters worse, if I get done around noon, I don’t even have the option of trying to recover the sleep I missed. By the time I get a chance to catch up on my sleep, I’m about to fall over in my tracks before getting home.
