I get my youngest up at 6:30 while the rest of the house is asleep. We watch some cartoons for 15 minutes then she helps make my coffee (Nespresso; purple, her choice). We watch a few more minutes of cartoons. I take her up to Mom, get changed and ready. Then, it's making my eldest daughter's lunch and out the door to catch the bus to work at 7:10.

Up anywhere from 4:30 to 6, out the door anywhere from 7 to 8:30. Take meds that should be taken before I eat ... wait ... eat plain greek yogurt or oatmeal ... take meds that should be taken after I eat. Coffee, read news and HN during all that. Work on something if I'm working on something. Put in my teeth and go to work.

On a workday, I find that unless I have something specific booked in the morning it'll take me an hour from alarm to out the door. Shower, coffee, breakfast, and some light web reading. I've tried the odd run or workout, but usually fall back into this routine.
