Having trouble 9-5

So first, I know I can't work part time for the rest of my life. I get that and I actually like working. However, I like working early in the morning and getting off earlier so I still have time to do things. My boyfriends hours are flexible and he gets paid for the day as long as he works a few hours. So in the winter time, when there's not as much to do, he's off around 10:00am. I used to get off either 8:00am or 12:00pm because I worked part time. Which gave us time to do things. We would meet for lunch all the time, leave for trips earlier, go hangout with the horse, go do something with the dogs, go shopping, or he'd take me to do work stuff with him. Not all of these everyday but a few things a day. So we spent a good chunk of the day together then after 4:00pm we were always together until the next morning. But now, we are barely seeing each other because I work 9-5. I like not getting up at 2:00am for work but that's about it. Sometimes we'll meet on my lunch break. So I want to ask him if at the end of the year (when the guy he's working with retires) he can start waking up a little later with me (6:00-7:00am) and eat breakfast with me then go to work. That way he's not always leaving before me. We are working on moving in together officially soon and I know that it's healthy to not spend every hour with my SO. But I miss him. He also said if he didn't have this job he would work a job that he liked that happened to be 9-5. So if he had to, he would work these hours too. I just miss getting off so early. And everything that came with it, like my weekend starting at 8:00am on Friday. I am currently working on finishing school for a job that I'll be able to make my own hours but that won't start until about 8 months from now. ☹️
