The bathroom here too!
I’m lucky to be a my to take my time. Drink my cuppa in bed then a shower. Amble downstairs make another brew then I sit and read a paper online and decide what I’m doing that day.
Until about 2 years ago I was a regular gym member attending classes and I was up, breakfasted and out the house just before 9. Just thinking about it now makes me tired. ?

My cat, usually.
He has worked out that if I didn't respond to the purring, paddling, rubbing his face around any part of my body he can find and then finally the licking and nipping of my arms, that he can lay across my ribs.
Having 5.25 kilos on top of me means that after a while I struggle to breath so I have to get up.
Besides, nice to have a bit of time just with a cup of tea before the rest of the household are up.

My bad back wakes me in tears every morning and I'm in so much pain I have to get up and dressed and take my painkillers. I hate waking up.

Longing for a cup of tea! And usually the bathroom calls.

My body clock wakes me early, can't wait to get up any time between 4 and 5 am.

This morning my 7 year old granddaughter was up and dressed in record time as her first pony arrived yesterday!
She was out feeding her first thing without my daughter having to go through the usual nagging and coaxing.

While all this was going on I was over a 100 miles away drinking tea and reading the papers online….. no hurry for me today!

I only get going quickly if I have to, mornings are deliciously slow for me at the moment!

What gets you up and at them?
