- Fight my alarm/phone. Yup. Every dang morning. If I'm on vacation, I'm up at 5a.m., but for work? 7 am.
- Pack a lunch. This is for workdays, but I pack my lunch every.single.day. It's not always a sexy lunch, but it's saves me $5-8 per day. And it's healthier. And I have a weird hang-up about eating salad outside of my house.
- Make my bed. I don't know why, but it makes me feel better to come home to a made bed. So, every morning, I re-tuck the sheets, straighten the coverlet and fluff the pillows.
- Hold my cat. She likes to be held and carried around, so I indulge her while sniffing her head. Her head smells like rain and I don't know why.
- Tell PC "no fighting, no biting; be nice to the guys at work!" and "have a wonderful day!" before he leaves for the plant. He's a boss now, so this has actually gotten funnier as he got promoted.
- Answer over 300 emails. Yup. I average 300 email replies per day and 25 phone calls. Needless to say, I am RARELY on the computer at home. or the phone.
- Sing Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. I have no idea why, but it's on permanent loop in my head, and I sing a part of it OUT LOUD every day. It's like a pleasant version of Tourette's.
- Pray. I do this every day, silently, for compassion, tolerance and humility.
- Cook. I cook 99% of the work nights for PC and I. And whatever we're having for dinner is lunch the next day. It's really, really hard to have a new exciting something to put on the table every night.
- Wash my hair. I'm a compulsive hair washer. I hate unwashed hair on my head... it makes me itchy.

That's a lot of emails every day - yikes! My bed gets made every day, too, but not always by me since Dale often beats me to it.
ReplyDeleteI like how you drew attention to the verbs at the beginning of each sentence - very eye catching :)
ReplyDeleteI like to come home to a made up bed, too.
ReplyDeleteYou could have worse things on permanent loop in your head than Yellow Submarine, but it's kind of funny! And a happy song!
ReplyDeleteI like a made bed too, but often forget to do it. The dog is the last one out of bed and if I toss her out to make it, she just messes it back up until she's ready to get up!
I feel you one the wash hair thing. Since having a child, I can't always do it (unless I don't mind him screaming, crying, or pulling on my legs, etc. while I do it), but I realized, as soon as I couldn't anymore, how terribly precious it is. I hate the feeling! :P
