Everyone has certain things they do to start their day. Many are repetitive and are done without us even giving it any thought. So, put your "thinking caps" on, and describe as many routines as you can remember, to get your day off to a great start...
Here is my typical morning routine after awakening:
*STRETCH IN BED- As I've gotten older and become a senior my body is very stiff when I wake up. Probably a result of wear and tear from falls and sports I've played over the years. So, it's the first thing I do.
*VISIT the BATHROOM- No explanation needed. Seems it's another part of aging, lol. 
*HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE- I make it the night before using a timer, so I'm ready to give my body a needed jolt right away.
*TURN ON MY COMPUTER- I'll take a look at my stock portfolio, check out the weather, and check for any new e-mails.
*TAKE MY MEDS- I have HBP and take my medication in the morning as it works best then.
*HAVE BREAKFAST- I'll usually have a Danish pastry to go with my coffee. Then its either cereal, eggs or oatmeal. I rotate the choice frequently.
*STRETCH AGAIN & BROUSE ON THE COMPUTER- a luxury of being retired, no getting ready for work!
*BRUSH MY TEETH- Got to take care of oral hygiene those dental bills can be expensive.
*GET DRESSED- comb hair, wash face and sometimes a morning shower.
*PUT OUT THE TRASH- Not always depends on if its needed.
*GO FOR A WALK- If the weather is nice to get some exercise.
That is my morning routine... I'm sure there are things I forgot to mention. Anyhow, then it's chores around the house/yard and get ready for lunch. 
***Do you have any of these routines. Please share how you prepare for the day.

The first thing I I do is reach for my thyroid medicine and bottle of water on the table by me. I have to take it fifteen minutes before eating anything so I do. Then comes prayer. After that is the bathroom, making breakfast, and then checking my email, and any sports news I missed overnight.

I let the dogs into the yard right away. Then I head downstairs and line up Beau Teak's 3 meds and of course get him and make him take those meds- for his heart issue. Then I squirt heart meds on yummy soft food for Fred cat. By then Peter cat is screaming for food. My usual start to a day.
