I Want Longer Mornings

Would you rather have a longer morning, afternoon, or evening?

I think I have mentioned it before on here a few times but the mornings are my favourite part of the day. Especially in the las few months. I usually wake up a 7am but at times I also wake up earlier than that, like several times in the last month I have woken up at 6 am. I enjoy the mornings, once I get up from bed, go to the washroom and brush my teeth.

And then there is coffee! I so enjoy my morning coffees. I usually wait till 8 am to make my first cup which I take to my bedroom and sit at my desk. I look for YT videos to watch like a vlog or maybe a clip from Judge Judy or People’s Court or Steve Wilkos. But selecting a mellow song is always the best thing as I take that first sip of coffee. I want to extend that morning for as long as can be.

And I like spending a chill time in my bedroom just idling away the morning with music and listening to podcasts or watching vlogs. There is nothing I like more than having a few hours in the morning to enjoy my internet stuff.
