Do you sleep late? My sleep changes constantly when I don’t work. I might wake up at 4:00am, stay up for two hours, and sleep in until 8:00am. If I sleep through the night, which I often do, I usually wake around 6:30 or 7:00.
Wake up with the sun? No.
Linger with coffee? I don’t drink coffee, but I like a slow start in the morning. I might just lie in bed for a while, sometimes watch a little TV.
Eat a big, indulgent breakfast? I eat breakfast 95% of the time. I guess it’s average size. I often have an omelet or sometimes cereal. Sometimes something left over. I don’t mind eating lunch for breakfast.
Read the paper? No. I might get a little news on Facebook (if you can even count that) or watching TV.
Go out to get coffee or other hot beverage? Never.
Work out? Yes, if there is a Zumba class. Usually I go to Zumba 3–4 times a week, some of the classes usually are in the morning. I also like water aerobics, which usually is in the morning. I’m less consistent about water aerobics though.
Watch TV? Yes, as I mentioned above I often watch a little TV in the morning. Sometimes it’s more background noise. I either watch DVR or a little Morning Joe now that the Presidential election is in full swing. If my husband is home he usually watches the ABC morning show, whatever that one is (I think Good Morning America?) so I might see that a little bit here and there.
Take a shower and run out to do errands? Eventually. But, like I said I like a slow start. I usually line up my typically weekly errands to do after Zumba, when I am already out.
Not shower all day and hang out in your jammies? Rarely all day. However, in Jammie’s until 9:00am is not very uncommon. Most of my Jammie’s are loungewear type clothing. Still, I slept in them, and easily might have been up since 6:30 and just getting in the shower around 9am, sometimes later. If I’m going to Zumba I just change into gym clothes.
Tidy and clean the house or try to do something productive? Yes. I often do this early before I get ready for the day. I only clean “the house” once a week really. Although, I’m always cleaning up little things like putting things away, the kitchen every time you use it, that sort of thing. “The house” is things like cleaning the bathrooms, swiffer the floors, and vacuuming. I don’t necessarily do those all on the same day. I dust about twice a month, and mop the floors about twice a month, except the kitchen a little more often as needed. I do laundry at all different times, sometimes in the morning.
Feel entitled to be and enjoy being lazy? I completely appreciate when I can be lazy if I feel like it. So grateful. I worked last year, and luckily I didn’t have to be at work until around 9:30, but I missed doing whatever I want whenever I want. It wasn’t so much lazy as it was being able to control my schedule. Most of the world wants you to be an early riser and very productive and alert in the morning, and I’m best a little later. Although, I do admit I had it “lazy” easy for a long time. My days filled up anyway, but it doesn’t compare to having a full time job, and juggling everything, and having to be at work by a certain time. The obligation can’t be compared to not having that obligation.
