In the morning
Well my morning routine is really predictable. I usually get up about seven am. I need an alarm clock of course! I never get up immediately. I lie in bed for ten minutes thinking about what I need to do that day. I always have a shower as soon as I get up. It wakes me up. I usually have some cereal for breakfast, but occasionally I will have toast and marmalade just for a change. I rarely drink coffee, it is too bitter, but I often have a cup of tea. It is very refreshing. After that I go to work.
