Post this next to your bed. Read it when you wake up. It might make you smile.
by the way, it's 100% accurate...
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?
Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England. You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.
Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.)
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything.
When Henry Ford was making the Model T he had the engine built to his specifications. Among the specs was the requirement that each engine be shipped in a wooden crate of a specific size. He used those crates to be the floorboards for the Model Ts.
'They' say if you are feeing depressed or whatever you should consider all the things you have to be grateful for, because these are mutually exclusive feelings.
Perhaps you are grumpy from a general sense of entitlement? I dont think it is unreasonable to say that the world falls over its own feet trying to help you as a beautiful young lady, maybe you are being 'spoilt'?
On a more simple note, if you are currently waking up to an alarm then perhaps you should try to goto bed earlier so that you can wake up naturally?
Looking good in that photo ❤️ I’d say Good sex morning run reading a book are all Good ways. Reading really helps to wake up the brain so if you got a good book to read and Focus on something or just Think a lot of thoughts. Thinking wake me up having silent brain Makes me Tired 💤
And post it on your bedroom ceilings how you're the hottest girl since Shakira.

Well for one thing waking up to someone as pretty as yourself would be awesome. Maybe a little morning action in the shower. Offering to take me to breakfast. Oh wait you’re asking how you can wake up not so grumpy? Lol kind of an odd posting of pics to ask that question lol I’m not complaining that’s for sure.
Do the messy bugs visit you during the night and mess up your room while you sleep? You should try reading inspirational stories when you get up like I do. You'll see life in a whole new light. Coffee always helps too. If none of these sound good to you then you could touch yourself when you wake up. A good orgasm should put you in a better mood.
Like lady gaga? Poker (poke her) face? 😉 on serious note. Cartoons. Smart alarm apps. And sleep enough. Have fix wake up time and morning routine. 🌄 fix wake up time will coz you to feel sleepy. Go to bed no later than 11 PM. Sun light alarm clock. 7 to 7.5 hours of sleep
Sleep enough, if you wake up well rested, you'll be good. Wake up naturally, not to an alarm. Wake up next to someone you like. Have a tasty breakfast. Cuddle. And some sexy time if possible.
