My morning ritual. Hmm. I've alrady posted what's on my desk, why not my morning too.

• Wake up
• Bathroom
• Fill kettle
• Let cat out
• Empty coffee grounds into compost, rinse coffee pot, add new coffee.
• Get the morning paper from the from step
• Check kettle. Not turned on. Turn it on
• Find lunch bags for the boys, get step-son #2's agenda, confirm he's done everything, sign it
• Wash hands, make lunch for the boys, pack into knapsacks
• Pour boiled water into coffee pot, start reading paper
• Wake step-son #1 up about 0745
• Let cat in
• Stir coffee, assemble bodum, push button, pour, add a drop of cream and milk, enjoy
• Return to paper
• Let cat out, consider the concept of breakfast food, decide against it for now
• Kiss fiancee as she leaves for work
• Re-fill coffee cup, return to paper
• At 0830, kick step-son #2 off Rune Scape (second computer) and off to school
• Finish paper, calisthenics for 10-15 minutes (inspired by Monk who described his/her exercise routine as one sit-up, done in the morning while getting out of bed)
• Shower, dress, consider shaving
• Let cat in, then leave door open
• Check E-Mail, look at PerlMonks, turn time-keeping on and back-date to start of E-Mail
• Check out white board with current crop of work and propsects
• Pour more coffee, get to work.
