Are you ready for an awesome day? I know fo'so' that I am. Yesterday I was going to make an apple'n'pear tart-ta-tan for a collegue who's birthday it was, but for some reason my tablets hit me double-tripple-super-hard and I can hardly remmeber yesterday now, even though I took less than usual, today I'm taking even less still, 'cus I got shit to do that can't get done if I'm all up in lady gaga land.
What's your morning ritual? Mine is
- Wake up after the 10th alarm
- Do my morning read in the lav
- Take my pills, have a can of 'v' fizzy pop while watching the BBC News and getting up to date on the latest technology developments.
- Take a shower if I didn't have one the night before
- Get dressed and ready to leave the house
- Realise I forgot something like my iPad or to brush my teeth, as I'm waking out the door, and make sure I get that done.
- Realise that I need to read a bit more on the lav.
- Get myself into work.

That's quite interesting. Some of it relates to my experiences with panic attacks. As in not being able to do lots of things that people take for granted.
My shop would sell artisan hand carved dildoes.

They have a forum where some of them swap them around, which seems a bit grim to me.
They have something called a "Cum Tube", which is a tube running up it with a suringe on the end filled with gloop.

Get up,
have a good dump.
Have a wash, and shave if I am meeting clients.
Do strechyback exercises.
put on clothes suitable for the day.
Grab keys, wallet, phone.
Leave flat and drive to work.
Aim to be on M1 by 6am.
Try not to fall asleep before getting to office.
Repeat until I die.
My little shop would be an old fashioned hardware shop, with loads of little drawers that contain everything in the world.

I wish I could wake up at 5 and then go for a swim, have a shower at the pool, get changed, straight off to work. That would be an awesome lifestyle. I can't get up early though.

it used to be like that but then it went invite only and I got grandfathered in because I used to upload (albeit slowly). There's a script you can get that puts all the downloadable stuff in a separate window and all I have to do is just click on a file and it downloads as fast as I can get it. I'd be lost without it.
