Stuff I think about at 5AM

Too many cables, cords,  rechargers for phones, computers,  camera,  iPod, Kindle, and yep.  My power tools.

Plastic packaging is driving me insane. It encases EVERYTHING! Food in hard plastic lock boxes, that no reasonable human being can readily access. All electronics locked in impossible plastic casing that requires hedge clippers to remove. The inimitable plastic that must be peeled from CDs with your fingernails.

Ants.

Sunburn

After a lifetime of swimming, I have yet to find the perfect goggles.

Competition swimsuits that are impossible to squeeze into.  I now have nine suits. Only two pairs of jeans that fit without falling down, drawers full of tees,  and only one socially acceptable dress.

I haven't worn heels since high school proms.

Shaving. I hate it. Women have hair on their legs, and under our armpits. Why did it become socially unacceptable to appear with a normal, hairy body?

Rob Ford. (always comes to mind at 5AM)

Republicans are profoundly uninformed.

All Canadians are nice people.

Mississippi. (I just like typing that) Don't like the state.

People are always telling me that I look young "for my age". As if that's a compliment. I don't know. Perhaps it is.

Older men who wear those baggy Abercrombie and Fitch shorts look really silly.

And finally. Why can I never get to sleep when I know I have to get up especially early?
