TSP2013 - Sleep Time

Sleeping
Watercolour and Ink

Around 11pm it is sleep time.

With luck, I'll sleep the whole night through and feel rested in the morning.

This is my last entry in the Sketchbook Project 2013.

TSP2013 - Time to Get Up

It's Time to Get Up
Pen and Ink and Watercolour

My alarm goes off at 6:00 am on weekdays. I usually hit the snooze button and it does not go off again until   6:15 am. I get up at 6:15 if I need to take my husband to work so I get the vehicle for the day, or if I need to do last minute lunch preparation for him. Otherwise, I stay in bed until 7:00 am.

I drew my iPod Touch for this image. I actually use my iPhone more often than not as the alarm clock so that I can charge it overnight. I put the iTouch in its place so I have a clock during the day in the bedroom (and so that it charges too). I like using my iPhone and iTouch as an alarm clock because even if the power goes off in the middle of the night, it still is charged enough to get us up on time in the morning. The alarm clock app I use is very versatile and permits multiple alarm settings, as well as snooze settings. I have my snooze setting set for 15 minute increments during the week.

This day I was up at 6:15 am because I had a full day planned and needed the extra 45 minutes getting up at this time afforded me.

Every Day Matter #14 - Draw What You See in the Morning

This is what I see in the morning as I get up.

My alarm will go off and I will either hit snooze or off. If Anthony is still asleep, I wake him. Sometimes Anthony is up before me.

If I don't need the vehicle for the day, then I stay in bed for another hour and start my day at 7:00am. If I need the vehicle, I get up with Anthony to take him to work.

I was going to draw Anthony sitting on the edge of the bed playing his guitar. He usually plays his guitar every morning before getting ready for work. He will play a tune or two, depending on the time. It is really enjoyable. I will draw that scene at a later date.
