Up with the Sun

It's 8 AM and I've already been to LAX and back, filled the car with gas, picked up Starbucks, done the grocery shopping and put the laundry in the wash. It's amazing what you can get done with your day when you get up at 5 AM!

This morning, I dropped Patrick and a co-worker off at the airport (they're going to Toronto for work). I don't know how I got the job of shuttle service. For all of those people that get up at 5 AM everyday and drive in rush hour traffic.... WHY??? I used to get up at 6:30 everyday and ride the subway an hour to get to work and that was bad enough. These days, we live only 2 miles from Patrick's work. Thank goodness! It sure makes life a lot more enjoyable.

I have to say, though, that being on the freeway with the masses at 5 AM gives you a feeling of camaraderie with the other fools out there that early in the morning. Commiserating in misery.
