8:30 am

This is the earliest I’ve woke in a long while.

I find that the earlier I go to bed, the earlier I rise, and the more energy I have earlier on in the day. When I sleep in, I’m groggy until dusk, then my energy levels pick up… and I stay up late, and the cycle continues.

Yesterday I was pretty productive. Made a dental appointment, faxed my health records to the school, went to the gym (it was amazing!), started to put together my model airplane, read a little, went on an enjoyable bike ride across town… and… thats about it.

Florida is so beautiful. People that don’t live here might be able to disagree… but they’re jaded. They live other places… they can’t truly enjoy the utter beauty of brilliant blue skies, with blazing setting sunsets that light the atmosphere on fire, changing it to deep reds, hot pinks, and blazing oranges. The evenings here are amazing. Perfect temperature too. A slight breeze makes it dreamy.

Anyway- I leave for school in about a week and a half. I need to organize all my belongings and figure out what I’ll need to bring to school. This part is a pain. Its all crammed in boxes.. and I know full and well that I’ll never use half the stuff in those boxes… its just accumulated over time.

We have no food in the house. I need to go grocery shopping.
