Morning Coffee

There are many methods I use to get up and stay awake. I set multiple alarms on my iphone at 15 minute intervals over an hour period, say 6:45AM, 7:00AM, etc. The iphone also has reminder alarms so my alarm might ring ten or twelve times within that hour period. Sometimes, the alarm is effective in getting me up, especially if I have to be somewhere i.e. at work. I also trying setting my alarm to a radio station. The latest news or songs often infiltrate into my dreams and eventually wake me up when I realize the sound is real. Usually, though, I depend on my husband to function as my alarm clock and a personal waker upper. I ask him repeatedly what time it is and then bargain for a few extra minutes, or half-hours on the weekend. I rely on my internal clock when I do not have to get up at a specific time. On those days, I get up whenever I feel ready and I might lie in bed for awhile before truly waking up. In order to stay awake, I have a quick morning shower and a cup of cappuccino or tea (chai). Staying awake is not as difficult for me because I usually get enough sleep. Stretching helps me appear bright and fresh. I move my arms in big and small circles, backwards and forwards. I touch my hands to my toes and then reach for the sky. I repeat this motion multiple times. Washing my face with cold water and a cleanser helps me stay wide awake. If I get sleepy during the day, and sometimes I do if my day is uneventful, I try to create a list of things to do. I write my list down and work to complete each task, usually minor things. Running errands helps the evenings pass without napping. During the workday, I definitely cannot fall asleep. I usually have coffee, a French vanilla cappuccino from Tim Hortons or a mocha or latte from another coffee shop. I know coffee isnt that healthy, but sometimes it just keeps me going.

Ladies of the Canyon
List Price: $7.98
Sale Price: $4.17
Used From: $2.95

Joni Mitchell's third album offers a bridge between the artful but sometimes dour meditations of her earlier work and the more mature, confessional revelations of the classics that would follow. Voice and guitar still hew to the pretty filigree of a folk poet, but there's the giggling rush of rock & roll freedom in "Big Yellow Taxi," and the formal metaphor of her older songs ("The Circle Game," already oft-covered by the time of this recording) yields to the more impressionistic images of the new ones ("Woodstock")...
