I'm still a bit surprised (though not unpleasantly) at the little microcosm of activity that these daily threads have.

There's a question I've been asking people for a while, might as well ask here too: what gets you up in the morning?

Same but I think I have a lazy bladder. It can hold a big wee but it'll wake me and complain when there's a tiny one loaded and ready to go. I don't put my red bin out every week because It's often empty or only has one bag in it so I figure why waste the trucks time. I need my bladder to get with that system.

That little fuzzy feeling in the morning when you wake up and you're nice and warm and snug and then you realise the reason you woke up is because you need a piss. ๐Ÿ˜ก

So I hop too hoping to catch a lil more zzz and go to the toilet then a fucking teaspoon of wee comes out and I don't get back to sleep. >: |

At this point: money

And not letting people down I guess

Sadly it's work and getting a car park that gets me up in the morning.

In a literal sense it's any one of these things: some noisy birds, my alarm, a plane flying low or loudly, my partner going outside for a cigarette. In a non literal sense it's a kind of strength and persistence of attitude which propels my life force ever onwards despite the efforts of my detractors lol.
