No, it's not normal. You are hypothyroid, which means you have an underactive thyroid gland. You will most likely go on medication having your blood work taken every 6 weeks until you find the dosage that is right for you. Word of advice, always test in the morning and learn as much as you can about the condition. I will post some links below. What you are shooting for is a morning TSH under 2.0, closer to 1.0 and to be free of symptoms

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you’re unlikely to be able to feel it.
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can develop in several ways.
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways: https://tr.im/eN96l

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/lrRtb
Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).
1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.
2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

Hmm, it seems a bit on the high side.
Normal tsh levels range from 0.5 to 5.00, so 6.26 is a bit elevated. No worries, however, your doctor should follow up with you, and you will be monitored.
Good Luck!

No.
Your thyroid is low. This sounds backwards, but the higher the TSH level is, the more HYPOthyroid you are. If you are not having any syptoms, you mave have subclinical hypothyroidism.
Please refer to you physician for further evaluation and treatment.
