why awake at all

Why awake at four? Is it because of the snore from the other side of the bed? No, this is probably not the reason for the early awakening.  There is just the necessity of a visit to the bathroom, then out to the kitchen and turn on the coffee machine.

Then back to bed and daydream in the dark until five in the morning and then go back into the bathroom to have a shower.

Then make coffee and have three cups. This is probably dangerous, the poor old heart might take umbrage and stop working. That would cause a temporary difficulty for some, but that would be the end of it.

And it still takes a long time to get all the things done and to leave the house.
