Weird Side of the Bed

I'm really not a morning person. Like I'd rather sleep in late and go to bed late than wake up early and go to sleep early. Don't get me wrong, the early hours of daylight are beautiful, but there's something about the busyness of the night time that I like better.

Also, I'm probably not pleasant to be around in the morning time. Some days I wake up overly chatty, after silently sleeping for so many hours. Other days I wake up and don't want to talk to anyone for a good amount of time while my brain wakes up.

But today I woke up a different person. I woke up (before my alarm) at 7am. Yes, that was AM, as in "three hours before I actually needed to be awake." And instead of turning over and forcing myself back to sleep, I got up, put on my sneakers and went for a 2.5 mile run. This really happened. I swear. I have photos to prove it:

This is what 7:30am looks like for those who haven't seen it in awhile.

This is called a 'running selfie.'

Timestamp: 7:51am

And as if it wasn't bizarre enough that by 8am I had already completed a whole exercise routine, I then came home full of energy and started to paint. Like on a real canvas with real acrylic paint. I may have gone a little crazy.

My whole life I despised exercise and I was pretty sure I was artistically challenged. And then I magically woke up one day and turned into one of the morning jogging people who apparently likes finger-painting before breakfast time.

This is what early-hours enthusiasm looks like. 

But now the real issue is trying to figure out if this is the new and refined me, or if this was just a one time woke-up-on-the-weird-side-of-the-bed type of situation. Either way, I hope it's something that will be happening more frequently because I secretly enjoyed forcing my morning enthusiasm onto all the non-morning people. (They LOVE that by the way.)

P.S. I may need to look for new roommates if this morning enthusiasm continues. I don't believe my current ones were so appreciative of this new-found crack-of-dawn ordeal...
