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.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Our wings are not tired.
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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't understand the people who wait until they get to the office to have coffee. How can you drive before coffee?
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.

I take the subway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Trust my rage
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
