On Mondays, I have to be up and out of the apartment by 5am – which, if I want as much sleep as possible, doesn’t allow for making breakfast at home. I could rely on getting food at the airport, but the options aren’t that great at my terminal, and I sometimes cut it so close that I don’t have time to stop anyway.
