Journal Some Woman's Journal: Poll: Every good day starts with a hearty... 27

A) Laugh

B) Breakfast of lard fried lard.

C) Frolic through the woods

D) Household pyrotechnics display

E) "Oh Fuck." as you awaken with migraine to realize that it is 3.5 hours past when you wanted to wake up, you have a lab report due in 1.5 hours that you haven't finished, and your group members are probably signing your death warrant as you throw on clean-enough-for-them clothing and run out the door.

Woo. What a day.

  • You know it's going to be a good day when there's two lips on your tool. Or is it tulips in your pool? I can never get that euphamism down right. But in any event, a BJ is a good indication of having a great and happy day.

    Most of my (work) days seem to start off this way... 8-/

    However, I did wake up in a good mood this morning. On time even (a very rare occurence lately). Had a shower, got dressed, thought about what I was going to have for breakfast and decided to get Hot Cakes from McDonalds for a treat. Walk down to the corner, place my order, get told there'll be a three minute wait, take my juice and a paper and sit down. About ten minutes later I am half-way through the paper, I have finished my juice, I am watching s

    But in the literal sense.

    Thanks, I'll be here till they run me out of town.
  • Pyrotechnics are the perfect way to start (and end) any day. But then again, I'm rather partial to blowing stuff up. I'll have to wait and see what effect the UK's new Fireworks Act has on me being able to acquire sufficient explosives for our midwinter party this year.

    Aside from that, it's hard to argue with Heliocentric's logic about the way to start the day...

  • Unknot those muscles! Empty that bladder! (Preferably at the toilet...)

    Once those two are out of the way, I can get down to stuffing muesli down my neck while watching the news, weather and travel news on TV in the kitchen.

    Ass o'clock every morning. Fortunately, I have a radio alarm, so I only rarely oversleep...

      LOL -- reminds me of a McDonald's ad in Germany some time ago.

      You see a bathroom with a clothes hamper and a toilet. Guy walks in, hair all messed up, wearing pyjamas and carrying some dirty clothing. He opens the toilet, throws the laundry in, closes the lid; then walks to the hamper, opens it, and starts to take a leak into it...and slowly looks over at the toilet. The voiceover says, "Wake uuuuuupppp..."

      Cheers,

      That's fine, but one day a few years ago, the Rugby time signal was an hour out... :-)

      My alarm clock sometimes doesn't go off, even if properly set. This has been independently verified. That's why before I went to sleep at 2:30 am with hopes of waking at 5:00 that I thought "what if my alarm doesn't go off. Maybe I should set another. Nah- it wouldn't do that today." Arg.
      • I had the same problem back in college. Then my roommate pointed out the fact that I turned the alarm off on those occations. Must have been in my sleep since I didn't remember doing it. Went out to buy a new alarm clock with a different location for the off button.....

        Worked like a champ. Just gotta train yourself to hit the snooze button first thing in the morning. Don't hit the off button until you're actually out of bed. No more automatic reaching for the off button reflex.....though I do tend to still
  • Nothing makes me feel better about having to get up before the sun than taking it out on an inanimate object. ;-)

    I've woken up at 7:45 before... I usually wake up at 5:30 and I'm supposed to be at work at 7:30. I just grabbed the cell, called my boss and said, "I'm asleep, I'll be there in an hour." :-)

  • Toggling the alarm flag on my alarm clock to false and sleeping for another hour or two or six. I can't leave work before five, but the morning requirement isn't enforced quite as tightly.:)
  • A few minutes skipping rope to shake off the sleep paralysis. Then several hundred reps selected from squats, sit ups, dips, pushups, leg lifts, etc. Then give in to all the growling and walk the dog. Quick shower, then wake up the toddler. Caffeine optional.

  • I wish I could say C (though no woods around my house), but more of my days are like E. Though it's more like: "Oh Fuck," as you waken in a misty haze a few hours after you thought you should wake up, because between an incompetent optometrist[1] who gave you too strong a prescription and a psycho roommate who insists on smoking "funny cigarettes" inside the house or right next to the house[2], filling the house with smoke, which means you get just as big a dose, which causes your eyes to spasm even worse (
