My Morning Drive

My drive varies from day to day as my work schedule is fairly flexible. I head out between 7:15 and 7:45 most mornings. Depending on the day it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to get to work. 

Oh who am I kidding. I crawl out of my bed, run my hands through my hair, go to the bathroom, and staggering down the hall and through my living room. I open the dog gate that leads into the kitchen and my "office". I have arrived at work. There is no driving involved. But there is routine. 

I check out the neighborhood and weather through the big windows in the living room. I flip on the teapot as I head to wake-up my computer, and then let the dogs out into the backyard. I pour my tea to steep, feed the dogs, and check Facebook, blogger stats, and email. Once the dogs are settled (i.e., back asleep), I sit down at the computer with my tea and begin to write and read. 

Later I'll make my list of "to-dos", but first and foremost it's checking in with the cyber world, and waking up by talking (writing) about whatever is on my mind.

I've got it good -- don't think I don't know that.
