I turn off the alarm, struggle with existential despair, and check the weather.

Every morning is always different. But mainly start with a cup of coffee and NPR Radio to fill in some real news lol. I'm currently job hunting, most jobs I've had in the past have weird schedules and often not a fixed schedule (which I hate!) and eventually ruins any morning ritual I might have.

Exercise, fix a big breakfast, read the newspaper (I get the Sunday Seattle edition and read one section per day). I used to listen to NPR but even it is full of doom/gloom tRump news so I have switched to my calming, classical station.

I turn it on and hit Agnostic.com to check for any messages lol. And I have Morning Joe on MSNBC onin the background.

Shower, use the bathroom, change my clothes, brush my teeth, make lunches, drink coffee and drive to work.

think about anything that I need to talk to my therapist about this week so that I am ready for our weekly session.

Eventually wake, then rise. Fortunately, waking to an alarm has lessened. Any more, it’s peeking toward the window to see if it’s getting light..
