AIBU to ask what you’d do with my extra hour?

Usually leave the house at 7.45 and have got up/dressed as usual before realising that I’m not due to leave until 8.45 today meaning I’m an hour ahead of myself.

Sadly, going back to bed isn’t an option… WWYD?

On the rare occasion this happens to me I usually sit and stare into the middle distance and the next thing I know the time has passed. Like my brain is rebooting.

I'd maybe go for a walk and get a coffee if it's a nice morning

Leave the house as normal & sit and have breakfast in a lovely cafe as a treat.

I would make a coffee and then sit and read

What I'd like to think I'd do: go out to a cafe or coffee shop near my destination and have a lovely leisurely coffee with a book. Or maybe even breakfast if I hadn't already had it.

What I'd actually do: empty the dishwasher, and then plonk my arse down and go on to Mumsnet.

I really like that rebooting comment. Thats exactly how it feels.

Sit in the garden with a coffee listening to the birds and think.

Definitely get outside for a walk, changes the start to your day but I never have time

I actually have ADHD and can lose large chunks of time like this if I'm not careful

I took your advice and walked up to the posh bakery 10 mins away. Am on my way back with a coffee. The posh pastry has inexplicably vanished… Confused
