I woke up before 8am.

　I woke up before 8am. I'm sitting in my study with a cup of coffee and working on my computer screen. I'm going to have breakfast in a while. I'm not particularly hungry. I've decided that if I eat, I won't be able to do anything for a while afterwards, so I don't want to eat right away.
　Before I went to bed last night, I read an article in the Guardian Weekly about the female prime minister of New Zealand and two short stories, "Harry the Hermit" and "The Happy One" by Maugham (collected in "Cosmopolitans", Chikuma Bunko). In doing so, I was able to change my mood.
