I am in this horrible habit lately of hitting snooze for an hour before getting up. Which is just plain wrong. Not to mention bad. And which also means that I am continually in this frenzy of rushing and writing and thising and thating before skittering out the door to work, and I hate that, it gets me all off-balance for the rest of the day.

Which is odd, because in the halcyon days B.I. (before the Internet), I was all about getting up five minutes before I had to leave the house. I had it down to a science, I really did--I would shower the night before, I would have my clothes set out, the alarm would ring and I'd leap out of bed like a young gazelle, go to the bathroom, fling on my clothes, feed the cats, and be out the door before the alarm clock got cold. This was a great skill when I had a job that started at 7a, let me tell you.

But now, I'm Miss Putter in the morning. I hit snooze, I wander around, I maybe even play a game of Quake, which is just so wrong I cannot even begin to explain it. And I have to write this thing. Not that I don't want to, but it's hard to combine the "only having five minutes to leave the house" and "needs to spend two hours crawling around like a sloth on a tree limb."

I've just gotta stop all this snoozing. Snoozing is what is bringing the nation to its knees.

That said, I'm gone gone baby. Sorry ducks! I know that you want to hear me complain about my rehearsals and how it's Lab Week and I just am not winning these raffles and about how I have mis-calculated SuperBudget this week and am currently on PracticallyHavetoWalktoManhattanBudget. Not to mention my vacation entries, which my friend Joe is sending me foot-tapping emails about ("Okay, stop stalling, give us the lowdown on the London stage scene. Sheeesh, Katie Couric would be a weathergirl now if she waited as long as you do to spill the beans.")

But it will all have to wait.
