Who's Been Up Since 5?

That's right.
Me.
Exchanged my Friday evening shift for Monday morning. The only downside to the switch being that well, I need to be there at 6 in the morning. So I set my alarm for 5, and all was good.
Get there. Feed the horses. Clean stalls. Come back. Back in room at 8:30, 3 hours after I left.
Now however, I can just keel back and relax. On the agenda for today we have school-work and such. Woot! And that's how most of the break is looking to boot. The big things are my Matrix Project (create a condition book for an entire meet, for Doug's Racing Office class) and my English paper (on the use of children in African armed conflicts).
Actually, I complain too much. It's really not all that bad when I think about it - I'm not completely swamped, and I can do lots of it in bits and pieces. Besides, I have other things to look forward to, such as dinner tomorrow night with friends from RI.
I should also note that there was frost on the hay-truck and my hands have passed the "we're freezing" stage and moved onto the "let's burn, though we'll stay a little stiff just to spite you" stage.
*sigh*
I need a just-shy-of-scalding-hot shower now.
