Maybe I’m reading between the lines, but every day she seems more worn out, and I can only tell that over text because she keeps sending me selfies in my hat and the blue under her eyes is getting more pronounced. On Friday night I ask about the schedule.
Georgie
It’s fine! I’m adjusting. It turns out anyone can become a morning person if they try hard enough.
Logan
That doesn’t sound convincing. I say that as a morning person.
Georgie
No, it’s true!
Logan
How early are we talking?
Georgie
Pretty early.
Logan
Georgie…
Georgie
4:30. It’s so peaceful!
Logan
You texted me at 11:30 last night. What are you doing getting five hours of sleep?
Georgie
My morning break has recently freed up so I’ve started napping during it. It turns out I love naps!
Logan
I need to talk to your boss.
Georgie
You really don’t.
Logan
I respectfully disagree. But I should let you rest. I have experience with 4:30am. It’s bleak.
Georgie
It has a purpose. I’ve seen a lot of smiling faces when I show up at five. That makes it worth it.
Logan
You’re not a glass half full kind of person, are you? You’re a “glass all the way full because the other half is full of air!” kind of person.
