Not with a toddler that wakes you up at 7...

Hmmm....I can easily stay up until 3 reading a good book, and my alarm goes off at 5 a.m. every morning. (TBH, I often snooze it once or twice, but by 5:20 or so, I am on my feet.)

(Is 7 a.m. considered early in the US? In my country, toddler or no toddler, people are up and heading out to work by then.)

Yes, 7 am is early. For many people, it's wake up time. Or even 7:30.

The people who read magazines back to front...are you lefties? I'm a lefty, and I see a disproportionate number of lefties who read this way.

Ha, yes I'm a lefty! Opening magazines the opposite way. Same with yiddish reading material, opening from left side.

I talk out loud to my dog, and to all the stray cats in the neighborhood. I also occasionally talk to bugs. I can convince a bee to leave my house, just by talking to it. (Flies do not listen to me!)

I am an older woman, I live alone, and I have an herb garden.

If I lived in the middle ages, I'd probably be burned as a witch.

I read the back of magazines first because all the stories/serials are there! Best part! And then I love to read the letters to the editor it’s so interesting following the conversation.

The weird thing I do is read YA books. I’m a big reader (novels), but I really don’t like the appropriateness level in adult books if that makes sense. So the books I read have main characters that are teens:) just finished reading a bunch about modern day royalty!

Me too! Book recs?

7:00 am is a normal time to wake up. It’s definitely not early. A toddler waking up at 7:00 is to the later side.

Nope! I’m a righty and I read magazines backwards too! All the best articles are always at the end- like the fiction short stories, serial stories, and humor column. I can always read the divrei Torah and news articles another time...

waking up at 7-7:30?! how do you get to work by 8?! 😲 almost everyone around here starts at 8, this is surprising to me!

this spins into a weird thing I do 🤣 - start getting ready for bed around 10 because 6:00am is really when I should be getting up, earlier if I exercise/shower

Yes, most jobs start at 9, I actually start even later than that
Until now he slept till 8/8:30 and I relished my peace so now it's taking time to get used too

My favorite YA book is Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall.
I like school stories and real live things that can happen to real live people. I don't like fantasy. What does Brandon Mull write?

Maybe in your house... in my house, 7 is the absolute earliest anyone might even think of getting up and that's only when absolutely necessary. Anything earlier is still the middle of the night!

My 12 year old does that. He even identified their moods! This one is mad, sad, happy, scary
