Operation Wake Up

So I've started working on a new project, which I call Operation Wake Up. The goal is to make it easier for me to get up in the mornings so that I can have some quiet time to myself to study and such before the kids wake up.

I've currently been trying to create a better environment to wake up in, that way I will want to wake up more. I'm also in the process of making different ringtones on my phone to wake up to. For weekdays, I have the beginning of the song "Breathless" by The Corrs. This is a song that I've loved for many years and that has always helped me "get up and go." I'm trying to get a song for Saturday and for Sunday now, but my Saturday song is stuck on Mitchell's old computer and my Sunday song is on a CD that's lost at my mom's house, so it will be awhile before I finish those.

I've been organizing things near my bed. I'm planning on eventually getting a diffuser to diffuse an essential oil to help me wake up. So I'm creating a space to make that possible. We don't have nightstands or anything, so we've never had a place to put things. Yesterday, I moved my bookshelf next to my side of the bed so that I can use it as a sort of nightstand. I dusted it and cleaned off fingerprints, and then reorganized my books. I think it looks so nice, and I love to have a safe spot to put my glasses at night.


Now I'm working on that lamp as a mini-project. You can't tell from the picture, but the shade is really just balancing directly on the bulb because it's missing a part, so we have to take the shade off when we actually turn the lamp on.
