Reading:

Title: Lizzy’s Sunday Morning Routine Sundays are Lizzy’s favorite day of the week because she doesn’t have to wake up early. Unlike the rest of the week, when her alarm clock rings at 6:30 a.m., Sunday is her day to sleep in. Lizzy usually gets up at around 9 a.m., enjoying the extra hours of sleep. She doesn’t rush to start her day. Instead, she spends her morning relaxing.

After getting out of bed, Lizzy makes herself a cup of coffee and sits down with her favorite book. She takes her time with breakfast, usually eating at around 10 a.m. Sundays are her day to unwind and enjoy a slow start. After her lazy morning, Lizzy might go for a walk, meet up with friends, or simply relax at home. She loves the calm and quiet of her Sunday mornings, a perfect way to recharge for the week ahead.
