I can set my alarm clock to an early hour, and get going at an early morning. Yet, I can’t get moving fast in the morning. I am a slow poke, always delaying, and puttering around, as the time moves along on the clock. It’s simply not possible for me to rush and get ready most days.

I like to get up early to go hiking. I don’t like to waste the whole day in bed on the weekends. I have to get to work on time. Yet, to do that I always have to get up extra early in the morning, because I’m just so darn slow.

I set my alarm clock extra early, and get going earlier. Yet, it still takes me 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get going, as I often reset the alarm clock, drink several cups off coffee, take much too long in the shower, and just poke around. I wish was I faster, but I guess there isn’t much I can do about it.
