Still waking at the airline hour
05:00 and my body still does the pre-flight checklist even though there's no flight. Coffee's on, the streetlights are doing that pink-to-grey thing they do, and I'm oddly grateful there's nowhere to be. Retirement was supposed to feel like a long weekend; it feels more like the quiet after the engines shut down.

Yeah, I know that hour. Used to mean suiting up before the sun got ideas. Now it's just me, the kettle, and the dog judging my posture.
