now that i've been working a real job for almost a month now, i've started to get into a groove for what i do in the morning
i wake up 6:15-6:30 (pending wheni have to be at work), and start off by going to the bathroom. then i hunkermyself upstairs, start my coffee and make my lunch while it brews. after thats done i go back downstairs to my room, get dressed and most days i open my curtains and then head out to catch the bus. i leave between 6:40 and 7.
so does anyone else follow the same boring ritual every morning?

5:45 - first alarm goes off
5:55 finally roll out of bed (usually)
go downstairs, take probiotic w/ glass of water
go upstairs, run shower, pick out clothes, take shower, get dressed, do makeup & hair and try to be downstairs by 6:30 (rarely ever happens)
have breakfast, take supplements, make lunch
out the door as soon as possible after 7
always the same. a little later on the days i have class at 11, but not much.

Mine changed a couple of weeks ago since I fractured a rib and can't exercise.
But for the three months, it was generally:
2:00 or 2:30 Wake up
2:15 or 2:45 Pre-workout drink, read, pray, throw rice in the cooker for the day's meals
3:15 or 3:45 Lift weights or ride bike, depending on which day (Cardio doesn't take as long, which is why I get the extra half hour)
4:30 Post-workout drink, shower, dress, get stuff together for work (rice, music)
5:00 Get to bus stop, buy newspaper, smoke a cigarette, read a bit
5:17 Bus to work

Fuck, man. What time do you go to bed? That sounds like a routine reserved for Travis Bickle.

some days i get to go out in the field so i have to be whereever at 7am, but if im at the office i usually dont get in til 8 because it takes way too long to get here on the bus. every day, especially after work, i stand there waiting telling myself i should get a car

7am wake up
molest / feed Jaxon
eat
shower
make coffee / lunch
get dressed and out the door by 8:45am
drive to work
I've decided to change up my work out schedule and now I am doing pilates / yoga at night after work. Not sure how I fee about it yet. I feel like I am SO DAMN BUSY and I have no time for anything now, that's why I think morning work outs are better, you evenings belong to you.
But A-Z...you're crazy.;)

MWF - wake up around 7:30, rush to do homework i didnt finish the night before, get dressed around 8:30, leave for 9:00 class. get done with classes at 11:20, get to work by 11:30 (12 on fridays), work until whenever i get off that particular day, shower, nap, fuck around on the internet all night, sleep. oh yeah, and usually eating comes after work and then maybe like a bowl of cereal before bed.
T/Th- wake up by 10, shower, head out to a food place on campus, eat personal pan veggie pizza, go to class from 11:45-4:15, come home, fuck around on internet,get some dinner go to sleep
Sat/sun work 11-8:30, eat work food around 3 and then usually have snackish food like previously mentioned bowl of cereal or something.
also, theres some doing homework sporadically throughout the free time

Crazy like a sledgehammer. (y)
But, yeah -- it's the best way to get the morning going and get invigorated, plus, then it's done and out of the way and you don't start making
excuses in the afternoon when you just don't feel like it or you got to busy or you have the carb crash after lunch or something suddenly
comes up or whatever.

its why i smoke after my shower, i'm already up and refreshed. i don't think i could handle work 100% sober.

i feel more awake after i smoke a bit, it makes the shittiest part of the day slightly more bearable.

09-12-2007, 09:46 PM
generally when i smoke (which i havnt in like, 3 years), i get this sense of like, every moment in time is disjointed from every other moment. things happening right now arent really connected to things that happened 5 minutes ago... like that kind of thing. so im pretty sure i coudlnt work while i was stoned.
its like my whole time being stoned is kinda like that feeling you get when youre deep in though and driving home and before you know it you're home and you're like WHOA HOW THE FUCK DID I GET HERE?... at least, that happens to me sometimes. sometimes i drive to the wrong places though.

i think im gonna add pancakes to my morning ritual. there's this awesome little kitchen in the technology park at school. typical short order cook flying through six orders at a time on a large hot plate and cussing at his co-workers. maybe i'll mix it up with omelets and french toast from day to day. im definitely looking forward to those pancakes tomorrow.

I was gonna say I buy these premade pancakes you just heat up in the toaster, and add butter and honey or whatever. And I just did say it.
It's really hard for me to eat breakfast. I only want to vomit in the morning.
I miss smoking in the morn, too. It used to set me up perfectly for a day under a truck spray-painting. Or whatever job I was pretending to do at the time.

i can't eat either early in the day. i have to be awake for atleast 2-3 hours.

I usually wake up at about 10.30, poke my morning wood into my girlfriend's ass for about half an hour, go and get a drink for my hangover (water or more alcohol depending on how bad it is), have a coffee and a cigarette whilst my woman makes me breakfast, then eat. From there it depends what else I'm doing that day. If I'm not sleeping with my girl then I just wake up and jerk off for a few hours. (y)
i was workin in one summer holiday village for third year so it wasn't hard to remind the old habits
9:00 waking
taking shower and clothing to 9:50
at 10:00 o'clock catching the mini "train" which stops near the hotel where i used to live for the summer season
10:25-30 drinking tea and expecting the first client
something like this exept the mornings when i went to work straight from the bar :D

Do many of you wait until the afternoon to poo?

I pretty much go first thing in the morning.

I usually feel pretty nauseated in the morning too, so that's part of the reason I skip breakfast. That and, once I wait for the nausea to go away, I don't have time to eat. Plus I can't really cook in my dorm room and I don't have a meal plan.
I poo once or maybe twice a week so it's hardly part of my daily routine. When I do have to poo its usually afternoon or evening. I poo really fast too. Whenever someone knows that's what I'm gonna do, when I come back they're like "wow you're a fast pooper" I'm kinda confused though as to how the volume of stuff coming out is less than the stuff going in, but I've heard it's not abnormal to not have to poop every day. Every couple of months I get the runs for a few days where I have to go everytime I eat and sometimes when I don't.

once or twice a week? jesus that's unhealthy. "regular" is like 2 or 3 times a day. all you people with your low-fiber diets make my insides cry.

who the fuck wants to shit 2-3 times a day!
sometimes my body will be all like... DUDE WE NEED TO SHIT!
and im all like... BUT I DON'T WANNA! LEAVE ME ALONE!

i usually go once a day. i hate it when i am rishing to get out the door in the morning and i dont get to go before i leave though, because then i'm holding in this ready to burst shit for like an hour. then i finally get to work and rush in and its the best 20 minutes of my life
but if i do go before i leave for work, its never with my first thing i do when i get up piss. nobody should even bother talking to me until i do that, its just not healthy
