what do you do when you wake up? do you have a morning ritual?

usually I wake up a little before my alarm is set for, turn it off, pass out for another 20 minutes, then climb out of bed (trying not to wake up my son who at some time during the night somehow went from being in his bed to being in my bed) and stumble towards the shower.

Well, at the moment, up at about 7, clean teeth, cup of tea, some asylum, make my packed lunch, shower, maybe a bowl of cereal and out ideally at about 8:20 or 8:50 for the train. With no asylum, I'd leave a lot earlier.

Ideally, it would be: awake at about 7, asylum, bath, asylum, some reading, some eating, bedtime.

10 minute walk to the station, 15 minute train journey, 20-25 minute walk to college at the other end.

Wake up, put contacts in, check on overnight downloads, go take a shower, various hygiene activities, grab something to drink, and sit at the computer till I go insane.

Up at 5am. Drink coffee and read email until impelled by overwhelming urge to crap to head to bathroom. Shit, shave and shower in about fifteen minutes or so. Back to puter for coffee and a smoke and to read until Sigmo heads to work at about 630am or so. After that, I'll burn a bowl and beat off usually. Then I make my lunch and chat or post until I head out for my bus at the corner around 715am or so. I smoke a cigarette at the bus stop and then between the destination stop and the office. Get to the office, make coffee and take a piss and call dad. Then I go outside and sit on the porch and read whatever I was into on the bus (currently Plutarch) while I smoke another cigarette. Then I come in and get to work. I'm usually steady at it by 8 or 815am.

Usually up by 5, shower and eat breakfast (hot cereal and a bagel, OJ, fruit) and then drive over to the ship around 6. If I have duty...revielle is at 5:30, but I stay in my rack until the last minute (6:40 or so), hop out, put on my uniform and stumble up to quarters bad breath and all. Then wander around trying to find someone with water so I can wash my grille. Breakfast usually has to wait until dinner on those days.

up at 0630. Wash, (cargo drop) teeth, bowl of cereal, tv for weather and traffic news, (bag is packed the night before) dress. leave house at 0725. Wait half an hour to get across the river (cos London is a stupid fucking city that has just four river crossing for twenty five miles of friggin east side city), then drive another twenty miles to Uni. Rinse and repeat.

Wake up at 6 AM. Wake up at 6:15 AM. Wake up at 6:30 AM, brush teethies, put drops in eyes for contacts that I never take out (Wonder if they can become part of my body that way), eat bowl of PB Cap'n Crunch, wake up kids, iron my wife's clothes, iron my clothes, out the door by 7:15 AM for an hour and a half drive to work....

And I don't smoke either... not that it matters. I'm allergic to friggin' everything.

up an hour and a half before class on any particular day. Stay in bed to try end remember any dreams, fix any morning erections, take a shower, walk the 5 minutes to my department and get a morning bagel on the way there.
Take morning classes, do TA duties, lunch, read articles, internerd, make dinner, talk on skype with my GF for a couple of hours, practice my bass, sleep.

Wake up at seven, piss, check out forums, put on kettle, take a shit, drink two mother fucking large cups of tea, take a shower/ shave, let the dog out, bicycle off to work at 8.20 or so, get there at 8.30.

The 10 minute bicycle ride is a lot more pleasant if I leave at 8.10, countryside, horses, boats, a canal.

8.20 and I don't get a chance to appreciate the scenery as I am cycling against a never ending flow of neurotic solo mums living in the outskirt suburbs who are trying to get their kids to school on time.

Had almost the same fucking accident with the same mother/ child combination three days in a row once. Her fault as well. Going diagonally right instead of turning right or going straight ahead. Stupid cow tells me that I should slow down. I was stopped on all three occasions. She's on prozac probably.

Oh, did I mention that it takes me 10 minutes to bicycle to work?

A look at a map might explain why that is. You are fighting geography. 25 miles from Bethnal Green will take you to Basildon. From Plaistow (near Woolwich ferry), it is 23.6 miles to Basildon. On top of that, London was an important port until relatively recently, making the question of crossing the river while allowing ships through more expensive.
