Breaking The Habit

I hate summer. Or rather I hate the person I become during summertime. I become lazy and self indulgent and yeah not such a great combination. I didn't really notice the change that much before, but now that I have a job and responsibilities, it's so blatantly obvious. I'm even being lazy as I type this! I danced and sang along to three songs before typing my third sentence...

Part of the blame goes to the heat. I hate it! Just knowing that it's blazing outside makes me so unmotivated (unless I'm going to the beach or the pool, of course) and sluggish. Also, I am so not a morning person. Just look at the time I'm writing this; Midnight! Ugh, I should be sleeping! I really need to break out of lazy mode, because I don't like being known as the girl who "is always late." And it's also not fair to my fabulous friends. Just this past weekend I made my friend and I miss out on what was sure to be a wonderful and relaxing afternoon kayaking because I was late. I'm sorry. I will buy you a taco the next time we hangout.

In my defense I did have 3 dogs to walk, a bunny to take care of, and some work drama to sort out. But that's not what made me late. I was watching TV. And I loath television! Okay enough with the self-deprecating, because I am breaking the habit! Tomorrow.

For the rest of the week (and hopefully the weeks to follow) I will:

• Wake up at a timely manner. That way I have time to do all my blog reading and lounging around and still manage to get to work on time.
• Get as much stuff done at night as possible, so I have more time to do nothing in the morning.
• Keep my room clean. I hate looking at this mess, but I am too lazy to clean it. See how this works?

Let's see how well I do,
