What are your wake up rituals?

Just curious... What are at least the first 3 things you make sure to do, to start out your day just right? :)

    Step One: Open eyes, usually both at the same time. 


    Step Two: Arise.

    Wow, you’re right. 


    EDIT:

    Step One: Blink.

    Step Two: Open eyes, usually both at the same time. 


    Step Three: Arise.

    Reach for my phone and shut off the alarm.
    If she's on my shoulder, I kiss the top of her head. If not, I roll over and hold her for a while.
    Then nature calls, so I put on boxers (and a robe in winter) and stagger to the bathroom.
    Wash my hands, go to the kitchen.
    Two cups of bitumen, aka coffee strong enough to stand up and fight me. Nobody had better speak to me until I've finished the second one.

    3. Slowly go downstairs, trying not to fall.
    4. Make coffee.
    5. Let the cat outside. This post was edited by Element 99 at August 2, 2020 3:34 PM MDT

    Can you see a time coming when you might need to install rails?

    Lie in bed and listen for a while.
    Go to the bathroom.
    Get clothes for the day and take a shower.
    Have cereal or oatmeal and put on some tea.

    Didn't say mine. Mine are to get up and use the bathroom first thing, eat and have my coffee to ensure a good wake up. Then I either check in online a bit on my computer, or turn on the TV for a while, before heading out.
