I work a weird shift, so my “morning” begins at about noon
- Alarm goes off, hit snooze a couple times
- Scroll Lemmy, news, check my messages, etc
- Shower, brush my teeth, shave my head if needed, get dressed
- Walk the dog
- Breakfast, make coffee, pack lunch, feed the dog her lunch (wife gives her breakfast at normal human wakeup times)
- If it’s a work day, I’m out the door by about 1:45, at work by about 2:15, start at 2:30
Then at the end of the day
- Leave work at 2:30, home by about 3:00AM
- Walk the dog
- Maybe eat dinner if I’m hungry
- More scrolling or some video games until about 5, sometimes as early as 4, sometimes as late as 6
- Brush teeth
- Undress
- Feel around in the dark for whatever boobytraps my wife has left in the bed for me- laptop, phone, glasses, Kindle, charging cables, etc. and put them wherever they go
- Crawl into bed, contort myself around the dog, hug the wife
- Sleep
On days I don’t work, the overall sequence of events stays mostly the same except I usually don’t usually drink coffee or pack a lunch on my days off, but the times may shift a few hours in any direction. Breakfast gets more elaborate on my days off, and I’m less likely to have a “dinner” since I probably had a big meal for lunch/my wife’s dinner instead of the usual sandwich I pack for work.
Morning:
- Snooze my alarm at least 3 times.
- Finally wake up, check for notifications and end up scrolling for 15 minutes.
- try to get out of bed but instead snuggle my dog for as long as possible or until she needs to be let outside.
- drink whatever water I have leftover on my bedside table
- get up finally, pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, put on deodorant, do my hair & get dressed
- make a coffee
- leave for work. (If I don’t work, skip steps one and two, and postpone some of step 4 for later)
Evening:
- pour a glass of water for the middle of the night when I get thirsty.
- let the dog out to pee.
- go pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, get undressed.
- grab a handful of kibbles and give my dog brushes while giving her snacks.
- put in lip balm and hand lotion.
- play all the wordle games before midnight
- scroll for a while until I decide I’m tired.
- turn off the light.
- put on an audiobook for 15 minutes and hope I’m asleep before then.
Morning: Work out, shower, coffee, protein shake, make breakfast for my wife, hop on the laptop.
Night: Cook dinner, kiss my wife when she gets home. Hit a few golf balls on the simulator. Watch an episode from an anime series if there’s something new. Maybe have a cocktail with the neighbor.
Shower, scroll for about 30 minutes, sleep.
I feel very lucky, and try not to take each day for granted.
