busy before breakfast
I am one of those people who wants food the instant they wake up in the morning. This makes a fair bit of sense, with my weird loss of appetite in the evenings it has generally been 15 or sometimes even 18 hours since I last had food. However, once a fortnight, when it is my turn to clean the loo, I actually make time to accomplish a "useful task" *before* breakfast. Why before breakfast? Because I want my morning shower after it has been scrubbed--it is ever so much nicer to take the first shower after it has been cleaned than the last shower before it gets cleaned! So on days like today I get up, don't bother getting dressed (if I do I know I'll splash cleaning stuff on the clothes, and the heat-lamp in the loo is actually quite effective), and scrub the bathroom first thing. Then I scrub me, to be certain that even if I did manage to splash cleaning stuff on me it is all gone, and *then* I can come sit down at the computer & enjoy my breakfast. I know that I *could*, in theory, skip my morning shower, get up, get dressed (it is cold in this house, so I have to get dressed!), have breakfast, and then go clean the loo and take a shower thereafter. However, while I have occasionally told myself that I would do in that order, once I'm dressed I can't be bothered taking it off again, so on those days the loo doesn't get clean and I am reduced to going back to plan A the following day, and doing my housework before breakfast.
