Since I was a child, as my parents will attest, my natural rhythm has been to sleep during the day and be active at night. I very easily and quickly fall into a pattern of this nature. Needless to say the rest of the world stubbornly refuses to fit in with my natural rhythm. Once in a cycle, though, it is pretty hard to break out of.
Last night I decided that the only way to do it was to tough it out and get up early this morning, and stay up. I did manage to get out of bed and crawl to the bathroom hoping a shower would revive my tired body. It certainly did help, but that warm bed looked at me, so invitingly, it required a good deal of willpower to resist it.
In order to keep myself awake, I did what any sensible person should. I took the child to school and then stopped off to get a vegetable curry pie. Nothing like curry in the morning to rev you up. I think it helped, although I have a feeling I will need to keep the Rennies close at hand.
I'm off to tackle Home Affairs this morning. Let's hope I can maintain my equilibrium, especially given that I feel like a fish out of water being awake in the daytime.
