“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[diane278]

Sound so cute. Most of the time I read your text I laughed out loud or almost choked. My keyboard/phone is often wet. Thank you for your sense of humor

I’ve never been a ‘morning’ person. A doctors office once asked if I could come in for a 8am appointment. My response was, “I can be here at 8 am, but you won’t be happy if I am.”
She changed the appointment to 2 pm. I’ve been a night owl my entire life...I try to go to bed by midnight.

First cup of caffeine...one more and I’ll almost be human...
(still loving Passifolia)

Kindred spirit here. Not a morning person at all despite so many tries. And I know better than to attempt anything before I've had my coffee - sometimes that includes actually making coffee. My family often tells me that I should have some coffee before I make coffee, otherwise there's beans and water all over the place.

Oh, and I've decided to finally join the Passifolia club. I got the same mug, the main selling point being that it can hold a lot of coffee.

Me too! And, while I always enjoyed reading Ann Landers (aka Eppie Lederer) as a child - she seemed like a shrewd cookie - I loved her even more when I found out that she too was a night owl and did a lot of her writing in her bathtub.

One of the things I am most looking forward to post-Covid is being able to say correctly, once again, that nighttime is when the interesting stuff happens!

Sometimes I wish I could live on NY time in California. I could get up 3 hours later and still be in sync with the morning people here. I might as well live in my own time zone....I sort of do anyway.

Totally w you re: caffeine
My DH is not a coffee drinker - he starts the day w a nice glass of water ... and yet we have been married for 14 y ?! I usually need 2 cups before leaving house - one has to be immediately upon awakening .. then I have various smatterings of caffeine throughout the day
I would look into the Passifolia except that I am bound to break it !

Absolutely! I always have my Nespresso machine on standby in case I'm desperate, which then I usually do a double shot of espresso to jump start my day. Such addicts we are!!

I held off on the Passifolia mug forever for the same reason. And I'm not the best at handwashing, but sounds like @diane278 has been able to put it in the dishwasher ok, so I'm sure I'll be doing that sooner rather than later. Since it looks like we will be at home for quite a bit longer, I decided to pull the trigger and get the mug with the hope that it'll make the time pass more quickly.

Same, I have to be in work for 10am so I try and wake by 8am (usually 8.20 then rush round like a headless chicken in a panic) and make myself go to bed at midnight where I usually read my kindle until 1am and even then I often take a while to drift off.
Left to my own devices (ie: if I didn't have to work ) my natural body clock is wake at 10.30am go to sleep 3am (ish)
I especially like the hours between 1am and 3am for reading, and being creative.

The water reflected a heart shape in my cup at dinner tonight.

Thank you I hope you're putting the sewing machine to good use making other things though!

Not yet. It has 99 different stitches. That’s probably 98 more than I need. I’m still figuring it all out. I start to use it and then get frustrated and abandon it for a different project....

It was a lazy afternoon here. This is a view from my Command Center (couch) after my nap....
