I'm trying to get back into my schedule of morning rituals. I'm generally out of bed between 5:30 when my first alarm goes off and 6. I go down stairs and let the cats out. Then it is into the main floor bathroom with it's fabulous heated floor for my morning constitutional. I download a couple of podcasts for later in the day and check e-mail and play a couple of games of Freecell while I constitute.
Next I return upstairs and grab my pills for the morning. I take those and weigh myself. (Today, 202.5. I've lost 12 pounds since I went in to the hospital.)
Finally I get in the shower and take care of all the scrubbing, brushing, cleansing and defoliating. That's about a ten minute process. If I had a chair and a TV in there, it would take longer.
Next I get dressed and get myself downstairs for some breakfast. Normally, I make a couple of eggs (sunny side up) and hash browns. Today, I had french toast, which I got in the habit of having in the hospital.
I try to get out of the house by se7en, that way I can be at work well before 7:30, which is what I consider to be the start of my work day.
I have a major change in my work life coming up. For the past 20 years, I've been on salary. The most important feature of that designation is that I did not have to punch a clock.
That is ending.
Some new government regulation has changed the definition of who qualifies as a salaried employee and I no longer fit it. So starting August first, I'm back on the clock.
It's going to take some getting used to.
