Mornings on the Farm:
The Virtual Farm Morning
~~*S*~~
~~*S*~~
I couldn't sleep. The sun was not even warm yet, and there I was wide awake.
At least I knew who I could blame.
I climbed out of bed, plunked down in the world's least comfortable desk chair and flipped open my laptop. A moment later, my fingers were flying as I composed a tirade of an email worthy of my foul mood.

It's barely past four-thirty in the morning and I am wide awake. I am not awake this early unless I've been up so late it's early.
Those roosters may be miles and miles away, but I swear, I heard them. And then I'm laying there, trying to go back to sleep, but I can't, cuz I just know that the second I start drifting back into that dream and things start getting really good again, those damn birds are going to start cock-a-doodle-doing the cock-block of Hitchcock proportions. And then some idiot's hyper-sensitive car alarm starts blaring, and I actually start to freak out for a second because I just know it's gonna set off the chicken coop Def Con 1.
This is ridiculous, and I blame you.
Yeah, I know that's completely ridiculous too. It's stupid early, I'm not a morning person, and I'm grouchy. Suffer.
If I ever even think about spending one more *early* morning on that farm, just do the world a favor and shoot me.
See… this is why I don't do mornings!

God help the world if you ever find yourself stuck in an actual day-job!
I can't believe you've got me using this stupid email address. I can't believe I even let you talk me into setting it up. You must be some kind of force of nature, Lois Lane.
Why don't you brew yourself a nice strong pot of coffee, eat a couple donuts, enjoy the sunrise, and try something new: enjoying an early start to your day!

If you knew the kind of day I've got to look forward to, you'd want to crawl back under the covers and return to dreamland, too. Especially *that* dreamland.
On that happy thought, don't you have chores you should be doing? Don't work too hard, Smallville!

I waited a few minutes, but it's clear that Clark isn't bothering to respond to that last message. I'd bet the farm he's gone straight to the shower. Maybe this morning thing isn't be so bad… Yeah, right.
I dug my eye-mask out of the nightstand, flopped back down on my bed and shut out the world for a couple of hours. That dream had been getting so good, after all… who wouldn't rush back to a dream lover in the clouds?
