captain's log: day three of early-rising. it was a little more difficult to get up today. the shrieking alarm has absolutely no sympathy; who designed an alarm that sounds like an air raid? i wonder, does the sun ever come up at 5 am at any time of the year? i took the toll roads the whole way down, costing me $3.50, but well worth it. you can almost go to sleep on that road, its so quiet. but first, i have to make it to the car. i really should be grateful for the adrenaline boost, but one of these days im going to run headlong into the car or a tree or trip over the sidewalk that gives me no trouble during the day. see, ever since i read about random animal attacks in the area, by what could be a fox, bobcat or other loose exotic pet, ive convinced myself that im going to run into the guilty prowler one early unsuspecting morning. the trouble is, i remember that im (most likely) being stalked when i get a few feet from the car and then i start to rush. i crash into the front door, unlock it and jam myself and my stuff into the seat and then i lock the door for good measure, in case the creature knows how to work doors (clever girl..)
really, that rush is probably what keeps me awake through the drive up until my cup of coffee.
