Day 04: The 25 Hour Challenge

I have a big, soft, plush white bathrobe that used to be a perfect fit. Now I have to tie it above my belly, since my waist disappeared about 3 months ago. It just doesn't work as well anymore. In a way, that's great, because instead of being tempted to just sit around in my robe and sip my coffee, I go ahead and get dressed. Too chilly, too much of a breeze otherwise...

And getting dressed helps me to resist the urge to go back to bed for just a few more minutes, which helps me to do something, like work, instead of drool on my pillow. I'm also ravenously hungry early in the morning. I usually wake up around 5 to make a bathroom trip, and as I stumble back to bed my belly starts to rumble. I'll fall back asleep, but by the time my husband's alarm goes off at 6, the rumblings are too loud to ignore. I have to get out of bed, which means I have to get dressed due to the wardrobe issues, which means that I have managed to stay awake for the last couple of mornings instead of falling back into said bed with said pillow for said drooling session.

I'd rather sleep; it's just too much trouble... Thank you, pregnancy, for helping me achieve my monthly challenge goal.
