For some unknown reason my body woke up before my alarm (wtf). Something in my brain said today you need to do the thing! (aka GD2) The light snowfall and blue light was pretty to see, despite blurry eyes. Just early enough to catch the world before it woke up. While these slow early hours are not normally part of my repertoire,

I took the time to appreciate the quietness and shuffle about my apartment. During my 6am shuffle I was lightly tidying up in the kitchen and taking advantage of the huge old windows that face the back of the building. Starting to grab some essentials for my work for the day and tracking down the stray paper/sketchbook for upcoming projects.

If my body clock has somehow failed me then my second more lively clock will. Ellie greets me in bed every morning in some way shape or form. She loves to sleep on the bed overnight, but can be such a princess when it comes to food. Automatic feeder in my future (probably shouldn’t spoil her too much…)

Tea and a companion to finally start my morning. Tried backing off coffee lately but apparently tea is actually worse for your teeth? So I guess there really is no winning. Enjoying the snowy morning was divine because Bolton Hill row homes deck their backyards out, snow covered trees for days.

Breakfast time and groceries aplenty! (not always the easiest sight to come by) I usually don’t start my day starving so snacking throughout the morning was the name of the game. A full fridge feels AMAZING, until it’s gone.

Work work work work work work work. So much to do and not enough hours in the day. Typography and resume work. My kitchen table makes an excellent desk to sprawl out on. Supplies at an arm’s reach.
