One morning, a couple three weeks back, I woke up 15 minutes before I had to leave the house. Oops! Startled self by making it. Since then, I've mused over which parts of my morning puttering are essential to my self-maintenance. Voila!

The basics:

• pee &tc.
  
• read my email & twitter feed
  
• feed & water the cats
  
• drink cafe latte
  
• take bp pill, baby aspirin
  
• wash feet
  
• stretch piriformis
  
• oil armpits, crevices
  
• dust feet
  
• don wool toe socks
  
• clean glasses
  
• cream hands
  
• kempt hair (comb, braid)
  
• eat breakfast (optional!)
  
• brush teeth
  
• watch news (time permitting)
  
• check calendar, coordinate the day w/ boy (if available)
  

If going out:

• dress
  
• gloss lips
  
• turn off iChat, log out of shells, close laptop
  
• collect iPhone, headset, keys(bike, office, home), $$, MetroCard
  

On a school day:

• serve breakfast
  
• help Mr. X dress
  
• pack lunch
  

*OR*

• get ready to go out
  
• take Mr. X to school
  

What do *you* do?
