Do you have a morning "routine"? OMG, I'm crowning!

I have pretty much the same routine every morning, though the order may vary slightly. First, I stumble into the kitchen and get my coffee water going. Then I pour ground coffee into the filter. Then I get my computer up and running. Then I take my (lower back) pain meds and a Sudafed if I have it. Then I do a little MyLotting until the water boils. When I make my first cup of coffee, I sometimes start the bacon and eggs. Then I fire up my first cigarette of the day. Then I go to the bathroom again and read Calvin and Hobbes. If I'm going to work, I usually take a shower. Then (after eating breakfast standing up in my kitchen) I'm ready to face the day.
Do you have a morning routine?

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late. (Write this down, it’d make a good song! 
)
When I wake up I usually grab my iPad and look at the time. I’ll turn the white noise off (rain or a waterfall), then play my games (Toon Blast and Toy Blast), then get up. Get dressed in the bathroom, take the stomach pill, grab the other pills to take with food, then grab things and go.

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone. Turned on some music to start my day. I lost myself in a familiar song.
I closed my eyes and I slipped away.
Don't tell @FourWalls. I don't want to get sued for intellectual property theft.

@wolfgirl569 This evening she is planting herself wherever she knows I will go next. Maybe a purr fest is in order.

My morning routine is pretty much the same each day. Stumble into the bathroom, head into the kitchen to start coffee, take my meds. I let Kobe out of his building and give him breakfast. Come back inside for coffee. I drive to city park quite early, where I eat breakfast in my car, drink coffee and pray.

What do you prey upon? Ground squirrels? Oh...pray! I don't know if I pray per se. I DO read the Bible, and I do think about what I read. And I DO do activities that are basically meditations. Do I prey? Heck yes. I eat both animals and helpless vegetables.

@TheHorse I keep a journal of answered prayers, to keep my faith in God strong.

I was shocked to see you were crowning I thought poor horse is about to deliver a foal!
I used to have my morning ritual but it has changed somewhat at the moment.

First thing I do when I get out of bed is make the bed and change from pjs to sweats and a tee shirt. Then I go pee and more often than not poop as well. When I'm done, I wash my face with cold water and then go to the kitchen to make breakfast. I usually catch up on my DVRed shows while I eat. What I've noticed though is that it seems it takes me longer to eat breakfast when i am watching TV at the same time.

Yes, I do have a morning routine. I get up and go to the bathroom and take some medication and if there is some wet food left in the frig for my cat take it out and do my exercises and eat and exercise again and do my praying and brush my teeth and get ready for the day if have to go out. I do more but I am sure you get the drift of what I wrote and probably not interesting to people. I feed my cat before I feed me and I go out on the porch and clean up what was thrown on it from above. I clean out my cat's litter box and put new sand in and clean up around it.

I'm up every night; and since I no longer work, I don't have a routine.

@mildredtabitha You're not a deranged sociopath, like the former US President, are you? I need my routines to stay sane.

@TheHorse some day's I'll be charging the phone in the morning before I do anything else.
Sometimes I'll wake up hungry so eating will be the first thing I do.
Sometimes it is too cook, or shower. It depends. It is never the same

Oh! I do have a morning rhythm and it automatically goes in a series as soon as I get up.

@TheHorse Yes. Prayer, freshening up, walking in my garden, watering plants, seeing sunrise, making breakfast, yoga, getting ready, having breakfast...it goes in a rhythm.
