FM gets up at 3:50 am on weekdays because he has a half hour drive to PT (physical training). PT is done very early here due to the heat and humidity. The early mornings also holds true for organized runs on the weekends. A charity 5K scheduled for tomorrow has a showtime of 5:15 am and the run starts at 6 am.
It makes for early nights for FM, my night owl. The strange thing is, I, the morning person, recently turned into a late-nighter. What’s up with that? It’s like we’ve switched biorhythms. I still have to get up early (between 6-6:30) to walk the dogs and it’s made me a little sleep deprived, not to mention a little cranky. I’ve found the best way to “get over” the lack of sleep is to head to the beach. Swimming is so invigorating and watching the fish is like having my own huge acquarium. I’ve been there everyday this week.
Each time I go snorkeling, I see such different types of fish. Could have sworn I saw a snake the other day. It was way too skinny to be an eel but perhaps it was a baby eel. The best time to snorkel seems to be late in the afternoon (around 5:30-6 pm) so FM has joined us a couple of times. FG got a little freaked out by a few fish who turned the tables on her, swam close and checked HER out. She thought one was going to bite her. That ended her snorkeling for the day.
Tomorrow’s weather looks favorable so we’re going to attempt the scheduled boonie stomp.

All my life, I’ve alternated between being a “morning” person and a night owl. I can honestly say that I feel better when I get up early. It’s always hard initially but then I feel so much more energized throughout the day and I seem to be much more productive. On the other hand, staying up late is so very tempting and so much fun! Hmm…life’s problems! (Maybe it would make it easier to get up if I had the ocean in my backyard…:)
