an early morning.

i woke up at 4:30 this morning. for no apparent reason, besides the fact that my throat was terribly swollen and raw. as i lay in bed, i could seriously ONLY think of how wonderful a popsicle sounded. so i dragged my sore self out of bed, put on a sweatshirt and made haste for jewel. thank goodness it opened at five. i grabbed some orange juice along with my frozen relief and ate three, two cherries and an orange, on my way home... cherry is definitely my favorite. i had to brush my teeth twice to get the color stains off.

i couldn't go back to bed, and since church didn't start until 10:45... i had a lot of time to kill.

it's amazing the things you can get done in the morning! not only did i finally get around to watching food, inc... i bought a few (awesome!!) vintage dresses off of etsy (not too much damage to the wallet, but still, i blame my rationalizations on the wee hours), i cleaned my room, did some yoga, and even had time for a little reading. i am currently reading through pride and prejudice for the third time and, literally, it has kept me sane these past few weeks.

it was refreshing, surprisingly.
