I work a weird shift, so my "morning" begins at about noon

  • Alarm goes off, hit snooze a couple times
  • Scroll Lemmy, news, check my messages, etc
  • Shower, brush my teeth, shave my head if needed, get dressed
  • Walk the dog
  • Breakfast, make coffee, pack lunch, feed the dog her lunch (wife gives her breakfast at normal human wakeup times)
  • If it's a work day, I'm out the door by about 1:45, at work by about 2:15, start at 2:30

Then at the end of the day

  • Leave work at 2:30, home by about 3:00AM
  • Walk the dog
  • Maybe eat dinner if I'm hungry
  • More scrolling or some video games until about 5, sometimes as early as 4, sometimes as late as 6
  • Brush teeth
  • Undress
  • Feel around in the dark for whatever boobytraps my wife has left in the bed for me- laptop, phone, glasses, Kindle, charging cables, etc. and put them wherever they go
  • Crawl into bed, contort myself around the dog, hug the wife
  • Sleep

On days I don't work, the overall sequence of events stays mostly the same except I usually don't usually drink coffee or pack a lunch on my days off, but the times may shift a few hours in any direction. Breakfast gets more elaborate on my days off, and I'm less likely to have a "dinner" since I probably had a big meal for lunch/my wife's dinner instead of the usual sandwich I pack for work.

Morning:

  • Snooze my alarm at least 3 times.
  • Finally wake up, check for notifications and end up scrolling for 15 minutes.
  • try to get out of bed but instead snuggle my dog for as long as possible or until she needs to be let outside.
  • drink whatever water I have leftover on my bedside table
  • get up finally, pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, put on deodorant, do my hair & get dressed
  • make a coffee
  • leave for work. (If I don't work, skip steps one and two, and postpone some of step 4 for later)

Evening:

  • pour a glass of water for the middle of the night when I get thirsty.
  • let the dog out to pee.
  • go pee, brush my teeth, wash my face, get undressed.
  • grab a handful of kibbles and give my dog brushes while giving her snacks.
  • put in lip balm and hand lotion.
  • play all the wordle games before midnight
  • scroll for a while until I decide I'm tired.
  • turn off the light.
  • put on an audiobook for 15 minutes and hope I'm asleep before then.

Morning: Work out, shower, coffee, protein shake, make breakfast for my wife, hop on the laptop.

Night: Cook dinner, kiss my wife when she gets home. Hit a few golf balls on the simulator. Watch an episode from an anime series if there's something new. Maybe have a cocktail with the neighbor.

Shower, scroll for about 30 minutes, sleep.

I feel very lucky, and try not to take each day for granted.
