Early morning exercise

I just played squash at 6.30am. And besides the fact that I was working away on my laptop and my son was up all hours of the night with teething pains which made getting out of bed a struggle - I feel really good. Refreshed and invigorated.

I know it's good for me, yet I wonder why I don't make time to do these things for myself. I mean, there are family/school/work commitments which makes catching up with friends really difficult. But then there has to be a little space for me somewhere. Which is why I've turned into a bit of a night owl of late. It's just time for me to be alone.

What do I do in this alone time? Not much really. I may process the day's happenings, but I know that it is just a gradual unwind for my mind to take a break and not think about anything. I muck about on the internet watching crappy youtube videos (which has really bumped internet usage up - really need to cut down to avoid excess charges - or surf at 1.00am onwards). I like watching videos where people do stupid things and hurt themselves. So yeah, I guess that puts me in the "Funniest Home Videos" category. I watch the odd vlog here or there. Read random things about whatever pops into my head or about any questions that has come up through the day.

I watch TV. Usually nothing on at that time of the night. TV really needs to get better programmers. I'm sure they need to balance cost with revenue but for deadspace I would put something entertaining on - because I sure as hell am not the only person with the tube on at nights. And I do not want to see another pro-ACTIV infomercial as long as I live!

So yeah, I like my alone time. Don't get me wrong. I love the time I spend with people but I guess as a natural introvert in can get a bit tiring and my brain needs the space to sit back on a bean bag and go "aaaaaahhhhhh".
