10:25 am pst   [ another Friday Five ]

1. What are the first things that you do in the morning to start your day?

I've pretty much maintained my routine from when I was going to the hospital daily. I get up when Matthew does for work and I sit in the bathroom and talk with him while he showers. Then we have cereal together and he leaves me curled on the couch when he goes to work. I am left to wash my face, brush my teeth, brush my hair, change clothes, and eat lunch before I go to work. I also do computer stuff like client work, my diary entry, and/or photos.

2. What are the last things that you do at night before going to bed?

I wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I read in bed until I'm sure I can fall asleep.

3. What daily routine have you recently added to your day?

Hmmm. None. Over the past few months I've gotten very serious about taking photographs every day, so I have to format and upload photos as part of my daily diary routine, instead of just writing an entry.

4. What routine do you wish you get rid of?

None. I wish I never had to clean though. No laundry, no dishes, no dusting, no mopping... that would be heaven.

5. What's the one thing that makes you feel like something is missing if you don't do it some point within your day?

I don't have anything like that. The only thing that messes up my routine is if I forget a meal for a while. Then my schedule gets behinds. But I never forget for too long. My stomach is ever available to remind me.

I didn't get the glow of the fire he was holding in his hand, but he still exudes his job.

I wanted to take a photo of this shirt hanging forlonly on an unfinished fence. Point. Aim. As I press the button I see movement and when I look at the photo I see an unexpected man.
