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.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
where was she looking, Suzi?
She was very interested in Northeastern, where she did get to tour the campus and go to an open house in the Health Sciences department. Apparently she was not impressed with their presentation. She also wanted to go to the University of New England, but my father didn't rent a car, so they didn't travel up there.
He dragged her to a bunch of campus's she was not interested and just walked around the grounds. From what she has told me so far they didn't do any other campus tours or talk to people - just looked around. How does that "sell" those schools to her? I appreciate him taking her out there, but he hasn't listened to what she wants and this trip was supposed to be for her. I know, color me unsurprised. I was just hoping he would be better with K-Bug than he is with me. Isn't that how grandparents often work?

DH does the wake and walk directly to shower thing too. Don't understand.
I do that, too. After some serious lolling in bed.
I don't understand the people who can get up as soon as the alarm goes off. I have to hit snooze at least three times before I can drag myself out of bed.
God yes. The snooze button is a tool of Satan.
I don't understand the people who wait until they get to the office to have coffee. How can you drive before coffee?
Because the 15 minutes it takes to make and drink coffee is 15 minutes I could be sleeping.
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).
I plan my outfit the night before. Sometimes I even put it out so that I can save that 5 minutes of “where did those pants go? I can’t find my other shoe”

Yes, but you can’t change their fundamental personalities. People who always think they know best will always think they know best. He may have briefly considered her wishes (which is more than he would have done for you), but still decided that he was right.)

That's why I have a coffee pot with a timer. If I were made a vampire, when I rose from the grave I'd be looking for coffee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or maybe you could suck the blood of a caffeinated person? Or would it take too long for you to absorb the caffeine?

Thrive to spite them
I hit snooze on the alarm, until I realize I'm going to be late, then I run around and find my clothes and get in the shower and then get to work and sometimes I have a diet coke but I'm trying to stop. I actually had no caffiene for a week, but then I was weak and so I'm back on caffiene.

Oh, dear. Well, I'm extra glad I was available on Friday to take her to the Health Services day at Northeastern. Good grief, though. I'm so sorry.
