    Wake up anytime from 5.30am to 7am (puppy. Didn't seemed phased at all by the time change. Still woke me up at 6.30am. SIGH).
    Coffee while browsing the web.
    Wake up kids at 7.30am and pack their lunch. and feed dogs. Typically have breakfast between then and 8.30am.
    Hubby takes kids to school on the way to work and I usually finish my coffee and go do my workout (or walk the dog, or go walk with a friend when the weather is nicer).

    I'm a SAHM though... don't hate.

    Alarm #1 @ 6am, take thyroid meds
    Alarm #2 @ 6:30am, get up and dressed
    -drink coffee(black)
    -help get kids ready for school
    -start a load of laundry
    -drive school bus for 2 hours
    -home by 9:30am, let chickens out of coop and feed/water them
    -quick daily house tidy
    -2nd cup of coffee
    -workout, then shower

    I hope to play with the schedule a bit now that spring is arriving in Manitoba. By early April I should have enough morning light to get a quick 2mile run in before I get on the bus. That will edit out my first coffee being at all leisurely, and require me to “drill Sargent” at the kids a bit more, but we all make our sacrifices!

    So much perky productivity! ;) For high contrast, here's my li'l ol' retired lady Winter (rosing off season) non-spin day routine:

    * Wake up between 10 and noon.
    * Catch up social media while lying abed (hour? varies)
    * Turn on NPR
    * Weigh in, record in libra
    * Take thyroid meds with 12oz water
    * Putter at household chores during post-drug fast
    * Drink 2nd 12oz water
    * Make oatmeal with berries, yogurt, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, molasses; plus coffee with hot milk, 12oz iced matcha with citrus wedge
    * Read or internet while eating yummy yogurt and coffee
    * Make another coffee with hot milk, drink alongside more reading/internet

    . . . and I have now oozed gently into my day. ;)
