Regarding step 7: Is that because you knocked her out with step 3?

I always thought she was just a heavy sleeper, now I have a different theory!

 

[WmRAllen67]

Wake up around 5:00a, use toilet, go back to sleep...

Wake up around 6:00a, stumble across the room to turn off alarm, go back to bed...

Snooze until 7:30a or 8:15a (depending on what time I actually have to be at work) while listening to NPR...

Finally get up, brush teeth, shave (occasionally), take shower...

Get dressed, grab knapsack, walk towards work (usually 8:50a or so)...

Stop and get coffee at the coffee place...

Get to work, read email & daily meeting/ activity schedule...

Some days, realize that I'm all hot & sweaty and have wasted my shower by about 9:45a...

 

[Viking Bastard]

Depends on the days, really. Early days:

1. Dress.
2. Get out of bed.
3. Go to school.
4. Wake up.
5. Pee.

Or that's how I think it happens.

Sometimes I have time for coffee before school. Then 3 and 4 are usually
reversed. And sometimes I find time for earlier peeing. And sometimes I just
ditch school and sleep in.

I'm not a morning person.


Other days it's:

1. Wake up.
2. Wake up again.
3. Again.
4. Drag myself out of bed.
5. Pee.
6. Turn on the computer.
7. Make breakfast.
8. Watch The Daily Show and eat breakfast.
9. Surf the 'net.
10. Shower/Brush/Shave/Dress.
