What is it that you do during the morning (when you wake up until 12)?

For me, during the summer I typically wake up around 5, shower, eat a light and healthy breakfast, go on a one hour jog, watch Regis and Kelly, clean up the house a bit, walk the dog around the neighborhood, and catch up with friends on iChat.

You guys?
 
I get up at 8.30am some morning when I haven't got a job interview. I then have breakfast, shower and then try to work or go on the web. Take my dog for a walk maybe. thats its. I do have to improve my routine.

out of interest what time do you go to bed? if you get up at 5am. I would love to get up that early!
 
Every workday:

Wake up at 5:30am
Shower
Brush
Make coffee for travel
Get dressed and groom
Pour coffee into travel mug and the rest into a thermos
Pack up lunch
Drive to work

Once at work I log onto my PC
Put lunch in the fridge
Go back to PC for mass surfing hitting up usual sites, bloglines, gmail, yahoo mail, charter mail, Mac Rumors, TFW2005
Check work email
Look at trouble tickets
Return to surf and or work trouble tickets until 11:30 when I usually take lunch
And I repeat the surfing/trouble ticket thing for my entire workday.
 
I get up around 9. Check the overnight happenings on MR while still in bed for an hour or so. Get ready, maybe have coffee, rarely have breakfast. Leave the house by 10.30 to get to uni by 11.
 
School:
5:45 - Wakeup
5:50 - Breakfast
6:00 - Shower
6:40 - Leave for school.

Summer:
10:00 - Wakeup
11:00 - Breakfast
12:00 - Shower
2:00AM - Sleep
 
On a weekday:

6.30am: wake
6.30-7.15am: shower/dress
7.15-7.45am: listen to the radio, check a few websites, drink some juice and coffee.
7.45: walk to bus stop
7.50-8.00am: travel on bus into town
8.00-8.10am: wait for second bus
8.10-8.45am: travel on bus to next town
8.45-8.55am: walk to work
9.00am: swear at email

Breakfast, etc. is a no-no. I really, really can't eat that early in the morning, and I don't care how fantastic a good breakfast is meant to be :)

Pretty dull stuff, really!
 
School:

6:30 - Physically get up :D
6:40 - Shower & brush
7:00 - Breakfast
7:20 - Brush again & groom
7:30 - Leave for school

Well, during the summer, if I'm on the ball and haven't been out drinkin' the night before, this is my routine:

5:30 - Wake up
Spend the next hour walking around drinking water and cursing the sun for being awake as well.
6:30 - Go running (distance and time depends on the day)
7:30-8:30 (depends on the run length) - Shower, eat some breakfast

Then I spend the rest of the morning hoping to catch Star Trek TNG reruns on TV while making calls and working on my internship stuff. Woo!
 
Day typically begins for me at 3:00 a.m. (sometimes a bit earlier). I'll watch taped shows and some overnight news until 5 a.m. Then a shower, light breakfast and to the office for a workday that begins at 7.
 
I usually wake up around 7:10 in order to make it to work by 8 a.m. I'll get up, shower, sometimes shave, iron my clothes, get dressed, and then leave for work. After I get to work, it's just checking Macrumors all morning, looking for something to read. :)

However, since I'm rehabbing a surgically repaired left knee, sometimes the process shifts an hour earlier so I can make up for the hour of work I'm missing.
 
For weekdays at the moment:-

7:30 Get out of bed. Urinate.
7:35 Take dog out in yesterday's skanky clothes.
7:45 Pick up dog's poo in a bag and place in bin
7:55 Get back home. Wash hands
7:56 Watch BBC Breakfast whilst drinking Berocca and tea.
8:15 Defecate
8:20 Trim beard, shower, brush teeth
8:40 Dress in work clothes
8:49 Tell partner that there's no time for that now ;)
8:50 Walk to work
9:15 Stop off at Starbucks for soya latté
9:20 Arrive at client's office
9:25 Steal and eat free fruit only meant for client's employees :D
9:30 Hit power button on PC whilst connecting PowerBook to local free hotspot
9.40 Finally log onto Windows
9.45 Browse e-mail and MacRumors simultaneously
10:00 Work (whilst checking MacRumors)
11:00 Break for Blackcurrent, Ginseng and Vanilla tea
11:05 Work until about 12:45 then urinate and break for lunch
 
I'm shocked that most of the replys have people waking up so early, dam I wish I can do that.

Work:

Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri: (OFF on Wed and weekends :D )

Fall asleep around 2:00-2:30 am
Wake up at 9:30am
Shower til 9:40am
Get dressed til 9:45am (I wear a uniform to work)
Be at work 10:00am

Fill prescriptions from 10am-7pm (We are really slow sometimes, so I'm on the net most of the day)

Come home work out, chill, and then do this all over again. I sometimes wish I could wake up atleast at 7:30am, and workout in the morning so I dont have to do it after work. But its sooo hard!!!

I know Lau, but for only five minutes? I may be getting old, bald and wrinkly, but I'd like to think there's still more life in me than that :p
