What is your morning (or wake up time) routine?

[AmberCutie]

As I sit here doing my usual "wake the fuck up" sequence, I started wondering what everyone else's routine is like? Here's mine (yours doesn't have to be too detailed if you prefer) with a bonus prologue of sorts:

5:15am - 7am: try to sleep through Tank barking at what we can only imagine is invisible animals in our yard (many times I actually do sleep through most of this, but Jawbs hears it daily, we are trying to figure out WTF to do about this.)

7am - 7:15am: Wake up (or Jawbs wakes me up), pee, weigh, put on lounge clothes, , zombie-walk downstairs, take Sugar out to pee, get coffee from kitchen or Jawbs brings it, sit at desk in our shared office.

7:15am - 8:15am: Internet stuff, including admin/mod tasks here at ACF, glancing over emails, catching up on Twitter feeds that I follow, scan through all unread ACF posts making sure nothing awful is transpiring and actually read a few threads that I keep up with. I Tweet a good morning post sometime in this time frame.

8:15am - 9am: breakfast, actually respond to emails that I glanced over earlier, figure out what my general schedule will be for the day and make a to do list possibly, have a 2nd cup of coffee, maybe.

By the time I get breakfast I'm starting to feel more human. But I am not a morning person at all, it takes me a while to snap out of sleep funk.

8am wake up to duke taking my ankle cuff on (i sleep with a velcro ankle cuff and a rope tying me to the bed cos we're weirdos)
8am-10am wake up - depending on how urgent it is i get up fast, thats me getting up... and doing stuff. If im not in a hurry i tweet/snapchat from bed. I send out hellos to a couple regs and people that get a hello from me every morning in my life.

Immediately after getting up, I pee, get coffee, give gigi and hedy their morning meds, feed them, let them out to pee, put on clothing, water porch plants, check mail then sit and drink coffee and do internet stuff.

If Duke is home that morning, I bring him coffee and we'll usually spend our 'coffee' time checking in with each other and talking, and I'm usually sitting curled up at his feeet while that happens cos we're weirdos.

After that it just depends on whats going on.. my routine varies day to day. Usually it'll be a shower next but sometimes if I have a lot of updates/admin to do, I'll spend several hours doign that and eat before I shower, sometimes if i need to get a move on I'll shower first and get right on cam etc. If I am not taking a shower right away i brush my teeth, if I am i do it in the shower.

 

[ZenHedonist]

I wake up. Fall out of bed. Drag a comb across my head (for old time's sake since I wear what's left clippered really short).

I tend to wake up on most days wide awake. Roll outta the rack. Get the water going on the stove for kawffee. Piss. Blow my nose. Wash the sand outta my eyes. Throw on some clothes. Make kawffee. Slurp the kawffee whilst I catch up on social media and news.

 

[WebcamStartup]

7:00-9:00 - Wake Up.

15 minutes later - Coffee

During coffee - Email, follow-ups

After important follow-ups - Cook breakfast

And the rest kind of varies based on what's on the agenda and what the current water flows are. Oh yeah, there's a shower somewhere in there, too.

 

[moonstompers]

Wake up, check phone, get up and use the bathroom, let the dogs out. That's about it. Ready for whatever after that.

 

[Magnolia]

I run on 28-hour days, so I wake up four hours later every day, so exact times are hard to put down! I'll just give a general list.

-Wake up three or four times, usually due to a cat annoying me.
-Crack my knuckles, back, neck, etc. for a couple minutes.
-Take my medication while I'm opening up my laptop and saying hi to twitter, my chat, and catching up here.
-Make a to-do list for the day.
-Get up, get a RedBull, and feed the cats.
-Whine about how tired I still am.
-Pull my balls out of my purse and get on with my to-do list.

 

[Rose]

6-8am wake up
8-10 feed dogs, feed kid, clean house
10-11am feed/water myself finally/exercise/bathe/try to feel human/attempt to caffeinate
11am-midnight take calls, edit videos, post videos, social media, whatever

I take 5-10 minute breaks every few hours to see my kid and try to feed myself in as little time as possible. Most often though BJ and kid just come up to see me in my office for 5 minutes and then leave again. They deposit food when I start screaming through the door, lol.

NO COFFEE FOR ME. NEVER ACQUIRED THE TASTE...

Of course all this will change once I start back to work in about a month........

 

[Entertainer33]

Wake up, grab a brush and put on a little make-up, hide the scars to fade away the shake up, why'd you leave your keys upon the table? Here we go create another fable...

What was the question again? Oh, right.

Wake up, hit snooze.
Wake up, again, brush teeth
Lie down for a bit, troll the internet
Play uke or other morning activity to make me alert
Do squats
Shower, clean up, put on work clothes
Go to work

Rinse, repeat

 

[mynameisbob84]

I work semi-weird hours and don't start til 12. I do most of what I need to do the night before (shower, get a packed lunch ready, make sure clothes are cleaned and ironed, make sure anything I need to take with me is ready to go), and then usually stay up til around 4am cos I'm pretty much nocturnal. I wake up around 11am, eat breakfast, get dressed, brush my hair, clean my teeth, have a quick wash and then leave for work around 11:35am. Might be disingenuous to call it a "morning routine" though.

 

[IndicaDesires]

I wake up about 8am most mornings. Roll around in bed protesting said waking up and groaning loudly about responsibilitits. I get up and let my cats out into my deck garden, as well as check on everything. I then swim a few laps if it's nice out, turn on my wii fit if it's not. Shower and get pretty. Maybe play some skyrim or watch tv. Usually log on to cam around 12 or 1.

responsibilitits

This is my new favourite typo

In all seriousness:
Wake up after about 4 hours of sleep. Stumble to the bathroom. Zone out and stare into the texture of the wall while peeing. Let the dogs out. (Who did that? It was me.) Start coffay. Sit at computer for a few minutes before realizing that I have to use my hands instead of The Force. Check email, social media, MFCmail, and ACF for notifications. Stare at screen a little longer until I realize that it's been 5 minutes. Let the dogs back in. Get coffee and pie for breakfast (Edwards brand. Turtle or Cookies 'n Cream. In the frozen section of your grocery.) Go back to computer. Browse social media and ACF for a few hours until I start feeling witty enough to reply to humans.

 

[IndicaDesires]

Mine too! I don't know why my phone let me type that though. Maybe it knows what my job is.

 

[Violet Dawn]

My sleep schedule shifts too much. But it seems to be the same.

-Cat wakes me up
-Recap on most likely sexual or terrifying dream
-Get up and look at social media, gmail, check for sales and such.
-Get lost in social media
-Remember humans need food
-Eat the food.

Yup.

 

[fandango]

Depends on whether I have to go into the office or can work from home that day. Normally its about 50/50.

If I'm in the office I wake up at about 6:30 get some sort of fruit smoothie or juice, I've never liked the taste of coffee so some kind of fruit based juice is always my favourite way to start the day. Todays was mango and strawberry.

After that I check my emails on my phone to see if anything came through overnight that needs to be replied to urgently, I have to deal with a lot of people from all over the world in all different timezones so my emails come in 24/7. Then get all washed and clean, iron a shirt, grab whatever I need and head out by 7:30 to get the tube into central London.

If I'm working from home its a lot more relaxed, I still normally end up waking up at about the same time and getting something to drink and checking my emails but then I go straight back to bed and snooze some more, at 9:00 I'll fire up the laptop and start working maybe reply to some emails and make any calls I need to all while propped up in bed then at some point between 10 and 11 if I'm not too busy I like to go for a run down the river or to the gym. It's nicest at this time because its normally pretty quiet and then when I get back home I can take a shower get some lunch and get back to work de-stressed and a lot more productive.

 

[Worship Jaclyn]

Hear cat or child running around the house like they're insane
Groan
Get out of bed
Make tea
Do a bit of yoga and my back exercises
Get food
If it's Winter or Fall I will then get up and usually check emails and start looking over my to do list I made the night before
If it's Spring or Summer I crawl back in bed and watch tv while I wait a couple hours for my eyes and ears to start functioning because allergies are a bitch

Regardless of the season it still is 2-3 hours before I will talk or think clearly. I hate mornings.

 

[EllaGray]

Since my timezone is completely different, I wake up in the afternoons and cam in the early hours of the morning (US night time) so that's always fun but it works for me because I am nocturnal.

- wake up, roll over, check social media on my phone for cool stuff.
- do all the grooming stuff
- grab a prepped breakfast meal and heat it up, go back into my room and watch an episode of something while I eat
- probably procrastinate and watch another episode of said thing
- get dressed for the gym or pole or aerial (whichever I'm doing that day)
- if its a gym day I'll also run basic errands since my gym is at a mall so I can get things done.
- get home, finally feel human, shower and get ready to cam.

I've noticed that my exercise is the most important thing to get out the way in my "morning"...its replaced coffee for me which is awesome.

Can someone explain to me why morning sex is a thing?

Bad breath. Sweaty. meh.

I woke up witha girl I was dating, and we had snuggled through the whole night. I nuzzled her neck, she said morning, I responded by kissing her neck. She giggled. I nibbled her ear, she laughed and said "what are you doing?" I told her I was saying good morning. Morning wood nestled in her bum, I started rubbing it and continued the foreplay.

The key is not to be face to face, is what I'm saying. Morning breath is bad. Sweaty? Meh, cute lady in bed is cute.

Face down, ass up, that's the only way morning sex will ever be worth it.

 

[Crumb]

8ish - wake up, stumble over to puter to turn it on, stumble over to fridge to gulp down some kefir
after that and before 10am... internet things which include the checking of various boards I'm a member on, logging into mfc for some morning boobs and pretty faces (because gods know, I don't have any of that here at my place /sigh)
breakfast which is almost always a 2 egg sandwich or in the event of no eggs/bread, cereal
bathroom things
get dressed
and then any remaining time I have left before 10 am (time I leave for work) is spent back on the puter, again looking at boobs and pretty faces

 

[Ambers Troll]

No routine except coffee, always eat a banana (sometimes something else), feed the dog her medication, put my medication out for evening meal, and get on computer (in no particular order :ACF, a few twitter feeds, perve, messages).
Sometime before work I shower and prepare for that, which may be anywhere from 1 to 8 hours away.

 

[paige_orion]

I've been a nocturnal creature since I was a little kidling, so my mornings never begin before noon. Any earlier is way too early for me and I turn into a grumpy guss.

10:30 am: Get woken up with kitten trying to chew on my hair. Grab him, and snuggle him until he goes back to sleep.
Wake up (anywhere between 12:00pm-1:30pm) - Get woken up by kitten again, usually trying to pounce on my toes. This is the real alarm clock. I give him snuggles, then immediately check my email.
12:15: Stumble out to the livingroom, trying not to trick over cat toes or stumble into walls because I am a groggy, zombie mess in the morning. It's so, soooo bad. Make coffee. Spill coffee grounds everyone.
12:20 to 2:00ish Drink coffee and catch up in internetlands while I attempt to wake up. Check ACF. Email again. Twitter. Play some of my silly phone games. Grab a second cup of coffee. Finally start feeling human.
2:00ish: Unbraid my hair to see if it is dry enough from my bath the night before. If not, let it flow free and dry while I try to avoid kitten pounces, wash my face, pop in contacts, and start mixing my magic makeup paints and potions together to slap on my face!

On the mention of morning sex.... Never ever. I am SUCH a zombie in the morning - I bounce off of furniture because I can't even stumble in a straight line and I can barely open my eyes and everything is so heavy and fuzzy and unhappy and confusing.... There is no way I could be sexy or want to have sexy things going on for a few hours until I wake up and become conscious. But on the flip-size, I absolutely love mid-afternoon sex (or I guess late morning for me?).

I envy you morning people!!!!

7 am- My alarm goes off and I shut it down (I actually installed this app where I need to solve 10 math problems in order to shut the alarm down. I do my math, then go back to sleep)
8.30 am - I peacefully wake up to notice that the second alarm (which is super loud) has been going on for an hour and my phone's battery is nearly drained.
8.35 am - I put my phone and charge and make my first coffee
09.05 am - I call work and tell them I'm running late.
09.10 - Finish off my second coffee and I head off.
I normally check my twitter, acf and cam sites messages while on the bus.

This is pretty much my morning most weekdays. In the weekends I tend to drink 3-4 coffees after waking up while mindlessly hovering around my flat with no clear plan for the day.
