that used to be around noon now it is still before 7:00 AM... because I am an old man and that is what old men do

There was a short period of relentless teasing when my partner started doing this XD even he called himself an old man when he realised he didn't mind getting up at get stuffed o'clock in the morning (which he does mostly to walk the dog before work) and pottering around in the garden XD

Meanwhile to this day my brain doesn't exist before 7am (and despite coffee doesn't want to exist even then, despite other people's shrill insistence that ALL people are actually diurnal and anyone who claims otherwise has just stuffed up their sleep schedule and "isn't trying hard enough" to fix it, I think I'm just a night owl, I can "fix" it for a short while but the very slightest of missteps has me being a night owl again immediately with zero adjustment required).

I don't have a comfort story, I guess I have a comfort project at this stage x_x
