A red hat and a red tent!

4 AM is a bastard hour. It comes at you like a storm and the ONLY way to weather those winds is to sleep through them. Meditation be damned! You know what’s relaxing? Sleep. Nothing good happens at 4 AM.

No offense to anyone who has to wake up at 4 AM for work. You are finer people then I am. Be strong my brothers and sisters. One day you will know the joys of sleeping in.

I would love some Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies about now. I think I will go and knit.

I’m in this no sugar, no meat, no fun stage right now and while my body is feeling pretty good I am kind of miserable. I hope that at some point the misery will be replaced by size 2 pants (who am I kidding, I haven’t been a size 2 since I was in elementary school…but it’s nice to dream, right?)

The guy who suggested meditating at 4am is probably nocturnal.

Up at 4am to meditate? That is practically Satanic.
Keep knitting red hats, that is obviously a more sane approach.

4 AM is never a peaceful time. Unless that’s the time you’re going to bed after a night of partying.Which I haven’t done in like 10 years.

Oh, that’s a lie. It was July. And a cab driver called me a bitch.

I’m sticking to my first thought. No good comes at 4 AM.

Dude. I’m pretty sure that 4am is the exact polar opposite of serenity. Chocolate chip cookies on the other hand…

I am pretty sure that getting up at 4 AM to do ANYTHING would make me stabby, not peaceful. That guy has been indulging in too much of the hippie lettuce. Also, sometimes, I just like to verbalize my cranky, loudly, with lots of f-bombs and then I typically feel better.

I suppose we could attempt our no-sugar thing again, but what will become of the holiday desserts?!

P.S. I look fetching in red!
