I don't understand the people who wait until they get to the office to have coffee. How can you drive before coffee?
I've recently started waiting until I get to the office to have my first cup of tea. It gives me an extra five minutes in bed. I don't drive though, so my brain doesn't exactly need to be in peak working order.
I wake up and get right into the shower. Don't have my first smoke until after dropping Em off at school. First coffee once I get to work. From the time I get up to the time I get to work is about an hour and a half.
Aims, that behavior leads to madness, or perhaps typos.
I wake with the alarm, hop in the shower, leave the house within an hour of waking, and have tea when I get to work. I boggle that I am able to get dressed in anything decent in the middle of all that (post shower, pre-driving I should say).
ION, K-Bug comes home from Boston today. She is SO ready to be home. I have a feeling the east coast schools are off her application list. Oh, and apparently there are snow flurries there this morning.
where was she looking, Suzi?

I do that (wait until I get to the office for my first cup of tea.)
But I take public transportation to work.
I try not to hit the snooze alarm too much. Often I have just enough time allowed if I
don't
hit the snooze so it's not an option.
Sometimes I'll lie in bed for a bit after the alarm and just pet the cat for a few minutes. Senor used to come running over when my alarm went off for this reason.
That's funny, Suzi. The two colleges I visited in high school were in Ohio and Southern California. I went to both in April of my senior year. In So Cal everyone was in shorts, it was sunny and beautiful. In Ohio it snowed. Guess where I decided to go.
I can get right in the shower if I've had enough sleep the night before. For a while, I was going ot bed with Ellie at 8pm and then I woke up feeling ready to go. Most mornings, however, I need a few minutes to just sort of get ready to go. But I'm not willing to get up early enough to allow for more than 10 minutes of sitting around, so I don't have much of a choice.
Joe routinely gets up to give himself 30-45 minutes of down time in the morning, even if that means he gets out of bed at 4:30am.
