A free morning

Aah, it's the morning of the second advent, and the first morning in a long while when I don't have to wake up to go somewhere ^_^ Ah, I love days when I don't have to go anywhere. And today I even got to open the next present from Mum ^__^ It was porridge, soup and an alarm clock. What an interesting thing to give, an alarm clock O_o She must've read about how I wanted a snoozing alarm clock from this diary. I would've made by with the one I have already, but... I will definately use this, now that I have it, it has all these great functions like the snooze and a backlight ^_^

It's so true, the sticker that was on the present, "The base of all happiness is a breakfast that's not hurried" (John Gunther). It's a shame that I usually have so little time in the morning. If I was able to correct my daily rhythm so that I'd go to bed at ten or eleven I could start waking up a bit earlier, but it's so hard to do. And I'm not sure if even that would help much, because I need more sleep than most people (10 hours a night would be nice). Well, sleeping better is one of the things I'm slowly working on while I strive for a better way of life ^_^ (My striving is really slow, though, and some parts of it I can't start before I get back to Finland, but I'm not in a hurry.)

The scar in my elbow has faded a lot but it's still clearly visible, darker than the rest of the skin. I wonder if it'll still be visible when I get home. Anyway, now I'll go make porridge ^_^
