My morning routine: 7:30, wake up to cat licking my face. Climb out of bed. 7:32 lean on bannister a moment, trying to think about what I should be thinking about. 7:36 follow the cat into kitchen, surrender and let cat do the thinking. He needs food. Got it. 7:40 stare at cat eating, bag of cat food still in my hand. 7:42 brush teeth while investigating sleep wrinkles on face. 7:48 look at clock, wonder where the time is going. 7:50 stare at shoes thinking, I could just grab a coffee next door and shower after. 7:52 shower, wishing there was a coffeemaker in there. 8:00 put on fresh clean clothes, one wrinkled t shirt that I folded wrong. 8:02 change t shirt. 8:05 put on shoes and start moving like someone put a gun to my head. 8:10 - large coffee please. After this point, life is grand.
