I have never ever ever been anything even remotely close to a morning person. I warned the Texan about this. I think he's starting to figure it out. In order to get to school on time my alarm now rings at 4:45. I am of the opinion that no living creature should be awake before the sun comes up, so an important part of my morning ritual is pouting. Usually after a few minutes of pouting I can be pleasant and cheerful, or at least not bitter and irate. This episode from Friday morning made me laugh:
Redhead: (while turning off the alarm and in a very whiny voice) I don't want to go to school today
Silence
Redhead: I should just quit my job. Then I wouldn't have to do this every day
Texan: OK. If you want to you can.
Long pause
Texan: Wait... are we having an important conversation here.
Redhead: No, I'm just pouting
Texan: so you're not quitting your job
Redhead: Not today
Texan: OK
Then he rolled over and went back to sleep. I got up and got ready for school.

Yeah, the house that my fiancee and I will be living in after we're married is further away from her work, but it is Fort Collins, so nothing really is that far away.
Oh, dear friend. You fill my heart with joy. Thanks for the laugh!
