How long does it take....

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Some of these are really making me laugh....

0400 - alarm goes off - hit snooze
0410 - hit snooze
0420 - hit snooze
0430 - get out of bed and make Alden a bottle.. put him in his playpen with bottle and take shower
0450 - feet two hungry kitties and get Alden and myself dressed
0515 - *hopefully* leaving the house
0535 - dropping Alden off at babysitter
0600 - arrive to work and *first things first* drink first cup of coffee
0620 - *wake up*

I'm usually up at about 4am to let Pacer out and reassure Anvik that I am still alive. Back in bed 10 Minutes later.

Alarm goes off at 6:21; I actually get out of bed 9 minutes later when it goes off again!

6;30-6:45...Shower and put contacts in. Since I rarely wear my glasses unless I"m sick, contacts are part of feeling awake! Pop allergy meds

6:45-7:00....Feed cats, scoop litterboxes, clean up any critter related messes that happened overnight.

7:00-7:30....get ready for work, move the dogs to their daytime spots, haul water for the dogs, hand out canine medications as needed, head count to make sure everyone is accounted for. Once a week or so Stuart will call early in the morning.

To be on time for work, I have to be out of the yard by 7:40 at the very latest.

At work by 8am, drink copious amounts of coffee....I don't do anything really complicated until at least 9:30. My office door is usually closed til then and my assistant and my boss have both learned to not ask me much until I reopen the door!

Stuart is a morning person, goes from dead sleep to wide awake in a millisecond and functions quite nicely on less than 5 hours sleep. Last week, he worked 40 hours straight without sleep and didn't miss a beat.

On the weekends routine is the same, critters like routine! Except I usually go back to bed after I've moved all the dogs to their safe spots! Today I didn't actually get up and stay up til 11am.
