2. Nine things you do everyday
Continuing the meme.
Of course, there might be some special occasions which some of these might not be done, but on most days these are the things I do.
Everyday, in the morning I wake up earlyish, wakened either by the sounds of my alarm clock or the doggie hopping around (1). I drag myself down from our loftbed, nowadays stretching my footsoles which have been squeezing themselves tight during the night and stretch a bit. If the dog is awake, I dodge its hopping, but most likely it will be still sleeping on the couch if it was my alarm clock that woke me. I take a shower (maybe once in two weeks I do this in the evening), put on some lotion on my face and some antiperspirant in my arm pits (2). I look for something to wear, and scratch the dog for a while. I put on my glasses (3), since in the mornings I prefer glasses over the contact lenses. Anyway, I rarely go a complete day just with the contact lenses, as my eyes tend to get a bit dry.
I take the dog out for a small morning walk and most likely give him food (4), because otherwise he keeps everyone awake.. and it's not fair to keep him hungry.
Everyday I eat (5). Breakfast, lunch, a snack, dinner, light snack. All of them, or some of them. Preferably all, with smaller portions in each. If I forget one or more of them, I become easily irritated and eventually hunger-angry. Which is a state I don't prefer myself to be in. It would be better not to care about the food and eating that much, but because it affects me physically in a way that affects me mentally, I prefer to keep steady mind and eat.
I also write (6). Writing on a paper gives me satisfaction better than just typing on the computer. And most likely I draw or doodle something as well, but it might not be anything too significant or even worth of noting. Nevertheless, it gives me even more satisfaction than writing.
During the day I (try to) interact with people, face-to-face, by phone or through digital channels like social media, IRC or so (7). I cannot remember a day when I wouldn't have communicated or interacted with anyone else. I do enjoy spending time alone and I love when I hit the flow and just be there with my thoughts, but I yearn for communicating and feeling a connection. And I talk to strangers, to satisfy this need.
And I think of people (8). I think of those friends that are far away, I think of my family and close-ones. Thoughts of their whereabouts and well-being cross my mind, and not always in a logical order for whom I seem to be concerned or wondering about. I don't go on a day just thinking about myself, or abstract matters.
And in the evening, were I at home, I climb back to the loft bed. I put on my mouth guard to keep myself from biting my teeth together (9), claim that "I will never fall asleep" and most likely I'll be all out within five minutes after I've put my head on the pillow.
These are nine things that I do everyday.
