I routinely wake up at 5:30, actually wake up and roll over to doze at 5:00, but get up and start my morning routine then. Start coffee, feed Bo his breakfast (the black one under the chocolate ear) visit the facilities, he fetches the paper from the driveway for his morning treat, and we settle in on the love seat as I read the paper and then my email. This is my alone time before the old man wakes up, and I cherish my alone time. Was camping on the river last week, still got up before the sun, made a pot of coffee and just contemplated the dawn. Nothing like spending some quiet time with yourself;)
