What 5am looks like at my place.
By Rachel on April 21, 2015Read moreIt’s 5am. Really it’s 6am, and I know this because the oven clock has pre-daylight savings time. I can’t bring myself to change it, because daylight savings is hell enough as it is and if I can remember that it technically USED to be 6am, it’s that much bit more bearable.
