As I scatter the rabbit nuggets around (throw handful at ceiling and let then rain down) and pop the coffee on; I think to myself [s]what a wonderful world[/s] who else would be doing this? And if this is not what they're doing, what [i]are[/i] they doing?
So, apart from reaching for the mobile, what does STW do very first thing in the morning?
PS- Good morning!
go for a wee, brush teeth, get dressed, leave for work. All of that is done within the first 7 minutes of waking up.
wake the wife up
what she does next is another thread
Pee, go make coffee and breakfast then back to bed to chill for an hour before the long commute downstairs to work.
The very first thing I do is switch the alarm off, followed by resetting it for the wife
Take a dump. Then get out of bed 😳
Like all real men I have a brief period of reflective nut scratching. After that it's usually wee/coffee/let the dog out
Wee, teeth, dressed, clean poo out of the litter tray, clean cat piss up from the kitchen floor!! 👿
Up, wee, brush teeth, dress, put contacts in, let mutt no2 out his crate, downstairs. Take mutts out for 45min walk. Chase mutt2 round field because his recall isn't quite there yet but he's perfected selective deafness.
pee. put the kettle on
Sigh, scratch head, turn on bath, turn on coffee machine, feed cats, dog, have a Poo, sigh, drink coffee, Poop no. 2,
I make a cup of coffee, while sending a cheery message to my faraway girlfriend.
Get dressed, switch the kettle on, go and let the dog out and walk her down to the paddock where she has a pee and poo and I just have a pee.
Back to house, tea, toast, check the interweb, take kids to school back home and start work.
Open my eyes
Watch everybody loves raymond.
Except today as I can't find the remote.
read a book for half an hour.
After I've woken or heading to bed it's my Omeprazole for breakfast. God bless shift work.
I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
Though these days it's more like check emails, see what carnage has happened overnight with work and then find the teapot and the bacon
pee. put the kettle on
I prefer mine made with water. Less salty.
Open my eyes.
Surprised very few people do this first. How do you all manage.
Look at phone for 10 mins then get up. Feed cats. Let dog out. Make daughters breakfast and have a coffee whilst listening to 5live.
Turn on radio 4, make a tea, take back to bed and browse stw.
Open my eyes.Surprised very few people do this first. How do you all manage.
Open them wider that joke has been done. ^^
Lie in bed in a half dream state, wondering why I didn't go to bed earlier the night before. Then I get up, pee, weigh myself, shower, etc.
I bore myself.
Fart.
Go for a pee.
Put kettle on and make a brew.
Shave and teeth, maybe a dump depending on how vigorous and smelly no 1 was.
Breakfast.
😀
Get up, take dogs out, let ducks (and chickens before the fox killed them) out, check on and feed various animals in the shed depending on who is in there, then come in and make coffee.
Ah, sorry, that would be the wife doing that. Me I get up, pee, crawl downstairs and grab a coffee and then back to office for half an hour on here 🙂
Stare at the ceiling for a bit, shower, breakfast, read news and have a look on here. Then brush teeth, mess with beard, get dressed and then walk to work.
cloudnine - you might want to check that baths not overflowing.
Rabbit stayed at the vets last night so no need to dodge rabbit droppings on the way to kettle this morning 😥
Question needs to be more specific... At what time does the day begin? 😈
alarm, wee shower, coffee, porridge, check work emails, check clinics didn't a) kill anyone yesterday, and b) early ones have started to treat (not kill) patients. make more coffee, look at diary, realise there's too much works for hours, check all work emails that have come in since last checked. silently scream at clinicians....
love my job 😆
"wee shower"
That you Donald?
Fart
Pee. Teeth . Wash face. Get dressed. Make a skinny cappuccino for Hrothgar.
Roll out of bed into shorts and a tshirt then take impatient dog out for her morning run/sniff/shuffle/poo..
Then home shower, make salad for lunch and depending on day either pack gym kit and jump into car or pack clothes in bag and grab the bike to ride to office, all this takes approx an hour, only down side is as the dog is one for routine, and we do this about 6.45/7 everyday, she doesnt quite recognise the weekend and a lie in
Turn off alarm, lie in bed for a few minutes hugging wife, get up, pee, downstairs, kettle on, R4 on, make coffee for me, tea for her.
Snooze the alarm four or five times. Brush teeth, shower if didnt night before, make coffee for work, go to work.
Turn off alarm, lie in bed for a few minutes hugging wife, get up, pee, downstairs, kettle on, R2, make tea for both of us.
...make packed lunches and breakfast, shout and swear at teenager to get up, put on cycle or running kit and go to work
Quick cuddle with Mrs, up, #1, riding gear on, off to work, Hopefully within 10 minutes of getting up. Any longer and it #2 before I get on the bike.
I like to get paid to poop.
Get up, let the chickens and ducks out and find/count the sheep. Then back inside to get dressed for work and then head off.
Coffee.
Or pee. One of the two.
Wonder why this is only time I get an erection these days.
On a train to work day:
Alarm.
Wee.
Shower.
Teeth.
Dress.
Say goodbye to sleeping wife.
Downstairs.
Grab lunch and breakfast (I eat the latter on the train).
Pint of water.
Make a travel mug of coffee on the Dolce Gusto if I'm feeling particularly tired.
Walk to station.
Alarm to station is done in 25 minutes.
On a bike to work day:
Alarm.
Teeth.
Dressed.
Espresso.
Grad pump, helmet, glasses, etc.
Bike.
Alarm to bike is 12 minutes normally. And I wonder why I'm always blowing at the top of the first hill.
Alphabet - Member
let the chickens and ducks out
If these are euphemisms, I get this one.

Almost invariably, fart.

Once or twice a week i may grab a coffee on way through town, but usually just make first coffee at work followed by download at 9:30am (I also prefer to be paid to poo)
Wonder why this is only time I get an erection these days.

Rusty ,I'm assuming you wake up in the morning light.
Nudge, push or poke the wife to subtlety wake her up - when she gets up to make the coffee,and out of hearing range, I let it rip some ... I am a gentleman after all.

I wake up to "Daddy, Daddy, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYY"
Try and get him back to sleep, fail etc
Well this is interesting so many different routines, though I have to say a lot of trumping goes on here too, though I didn't think to write that 😉 I'm quite lucky in that MissStripes is usually out of earshot before I wake up 🙂
Scenario 1
Swear, get up to see what the young child is complaining about - usually tired, hungry, thirsty, eye is sore, needs the toilet
Scenario 2
Swear, press the snooze button, swear, press the snooze button, swear.....
Listen to whatever weird detective drama / thriller is on R4 Extra from 6.00 to 6.30.

Go see if the small person is awake, then make some tea.
see if the small person is awake
Apparently that's to stop you pissing yourself in your sleep.
😀
Small person usually demands her tablet to watch Spongebob.
Doesn't anyone drink tea these days?
Usual routine is, up, put kettle on, pee, make cup of aforementioned beverage, drink tea whilst getting ready to pop over to the gym or take the dogs for a trot.
Cuddle the dog, piss in the coffee pot and walk the wife.
Dress, coffee, sofa for 20 mins staring at vapid shite on my phone, roll a tab (just started again, bah!), think about turning the computer on and doing some work, nah, porridge first.
Out of bed, stumble, pee, undies, stumble, stairs, kettle on, tea bag, cup, milk, stir in a blurry fug, sofa, TV on, iPad on, drink tea, 50 sit-ups, grab shirt/suit (or if WFH, slouch joggers) toast & marmite, phone on... exit stage right.
Oh I forgot - wash my eyes.
Have a pee then wash my eyes gently with warm water.
Thus I can see enough to post here already 🙂
On second thoughts mefty, I'll get a coffee at Starbucks...
Either turn off alarm or hit snooze, lie in bed for about 10 mins wondering where my life went wrong.
Get up, shower, breakfast, make lunch, drive to work.
Repeat...
Out of bed, pee, wake kids up, espresso, assemble all the breakfasts, wake kids up again, breakfast, shout at kids and nick their duvets, shit, shower, maybe shave, hassle kids to get ready, kids and I brush teeth, pack bags, break up fighting, get out of the door and to school.
Snooze for 10 minutes.
Shortly followed by shit, shower, shave, brush teeth, get dressed, ride to work.
I'm in the classroom less than 20 minutes after I get out of bed. I have a croissant at my desk.
