Default Happy or Grouchy?
Which one are you in the morning?
Happy? Grouchy? And for those who are grouchy, what time do you get happy?

Haven't had even one grouchy morning since December 28, 2013.

Coincidentally, we moved to The Villages on December 28, 2013.

I'm either Sleepy or Dopey. But I might also be Groggy as well.

I am not a morning person! Not at all!!

Too many years as a RN doing shift work! My hubby, bless his heart, is a morning person. He's up by 0700 and ready for bed at 2230-2300. Not me!! I wake up, if un disturbed around 1030 and easily stay up until 0200-0300.

We also have time zone issues to complicate things. I have worked in Ca for the past 10 yrs. so I have serious sleep issues.

Tomorrow is my last day of work!! Yahoo. Then I can join my hubby in TV fulltime. I am hoping to get my internal clock reset as I will no longer be commuting.

As for mornings...we aren't coffee drinkers, I need a little time to clear out the cobwebs and
A half hr on the lanaii looking out over Killdeer and Evans Prairie does that for me.

I wouldn't say I'm grumpy, rather a bit spacey. Within 30-45 mins I'm fully functional. But I don't think I'll ever be up to view the sunrise. Sunset is fine with me!!

Congrats Dotti105, your retirement has got to be pretty exciting as well as joining your husband in TV permanently! Now you can have any schedule you want!!!

Not a morning person but rarely grouchy. As long as I get five hours sleep, the world is good. No five hours, folks need to duck around one. Then I'm seriously grouchy until I get my power nap.

I'm a grump until noon. After that I'm happy all day and night and have always been a night owl. Tom wakes up talking and smiling. I'm like oh please be quiet.

I love the mornings, but only if I don't have to do anything with them. Drink coffee and check email. Enjoy the sunshine coming in through the lanai. I'm not grouchy, but I'm happiest when everything's quiet and I don't have to address anything till 10 a.m.

Grumpy!! 24/7 that's me. My mother in law gave me the name of Gregory Grump and my wife has continued the monicker ever since. I usually go to sleep somewhere between midnight and 2 AM and am up by 7 AM. We have two little alarm clocks that want to be fed at 7 AM.
