* wake up at 7:45 or 8:45 depending on whether I have contract work to do
* beat existential dread away
* put on glasses (or contacts if I have any virtual meetings)
* put on pants
* spray Weleda deodorant if I need a refresher but I generally don’t because I put it on before I go to sleep
* turn on my espresso machine to heat up
* take Benny out to go to the bathroom, slav squat in the grass in my backyard listening to/watching the birds and chipmunks while he runs around and forgets he has to pee. we usually play keepaway with a stick (he keeps the stick away from me)
* take morning defrosted food portions out of refrigerator and feed to Benny and my cat Bunny
* make and drink an Americano
^ That all takes about 15-20 minutes
* go upstairs to my office
* contract work if that’s on the schedule
* switch laptops and log on to my job between 10:00-12:00
* sometimes I go wild and I start a load of laundry or my dumb robot vacuum
I don’t eat until I’m hungry which is usually around 2:00-3:00 pm and I brush my teeth after eating
