First thing that is absolutely necessary is grabbing my glasses otherwise I will walk into the wall. I find my husband in the kitchen because I have learned to get up "after" him so that my coffee is already brewing! Give him a full 10 second hug (no words) . There is no talking going on because I have just stumbled out of bed and he is not a morning person. Fix coffee- 1tbsp. turbinado and splash of soy milk. Get to remote control and turn on local new splop on the couch call Penny up to sit with me (fat cat)...listen half-heartedly to terrible goings on that have happened while people were sleeping....then the Today Show comes on and I inevitably feel better instantly at the images of NY that flash on the screen (I used to live there).....get off the couch around 7:30 make my husband and myself lunch to go (feed Rosco- bratty cat some turkey deli meat from the package)...pour today's breakfast in a bowl (either yogurt with fruit and honey OR Kashi hot cereal with fresh berries) eat that quickly run to bathroom, wash face, brush teeth, put in contacts-or not, lotion up and leave...taking more coffee in mug and lunch....get in car listening to morning edition on NPR and hoping to get to the school where I work on time!

I press snooze. It goes off again at 7:09. I press snooze. Yet again it nags me at 7:18. I turn it off and turn my TV on with the previous night's Daily show. I lie in bed waking up listening to Jon Stewart and chuckling into my pillow. I get out of bed around 7:25, Pad into the bathroom, brush the chompers, wash the face, deodorant, Pony tail holder...as I try not to look attractive for work at the construction office. I then get dressed and usually make it to the Kitchen by about 7:33. I start my Moka espresso pot on the stove with 4 shots worth of espresso. I turn on another burner and set my beloved cast iron skillet on the heat with a chunk of virgin coconut oil. I add 3-4 leaves of kale, and some herbs (recently chives). I then beat 3 eggs and when the kale is cooked I pour it into the pan. I then get a glass of water and drop 3 drops of 1000 I.U. Vitamin D oil in the water. I then take my glucosamine and my probiotics with said water, and go back to my eggs, stirring them. I pull out a pot and a glass jar, I pour 3/4 of a c. coconut milk in the pot and 1/2 c. in the jar. I heat up the coconut milk on the stove, this is about the time when my espresso starts steaming. I scrape my eggs onto a plate and stick the pan in the oven (I clean it in the evening when I get home). I pull out my tub of xylitol and spoon 1.5 Tsp into the jar and 1.5 tsp into the pot of coconut milk, stirring both. I put the lid on the jar and set it aside. I take a bit or two of eggs. I pull out some fruit (today cherries and a banana) and prep it for travel. Another bite of eggs. I heat my espresso stop sputtering and I take it off the heat and pour it into my travel mug. I then pour in the heated coconut milk, and proceed to wash the pot. I finish my eggs, and load my dirty dishes into the dishwasher. I put my fruit and the jar of coconut milk into my purse, put on my shoes, and head out the door. I usually make it to work about 3 minutes late ;-) So that is just the morning...
