I set my alarm only when I have a morning appointment. I am retired. I dont need a sudden awakening any more. I roll out of bed, stagger to the kitchen to make my morning cuppa, drop into my recliner to drink my waker-upper tea, wake up, read for an hour. Then it is shower time, exercise time in my mini-gym in my apartment bedroom, get dressed, have my healthy breakfast. And I am off for my daily walk, meeting friends, and all the other joys of being an 85 old retiree. No stress (the single life, no boss). Life is great. All you under-retirement folk have so much to look forward to.

great routine. i set my alarm 15 min. earlier so that i can lie there and pull it together. i get up, shower, dress and i enjoy that because i do love activewear clothing! then i feed two colonies of cats, my own indoor babies and the outdoor feral gang that i have trapped, neutered and released. after the cats are fed and litter scooped and changed (their needs get met first) i have my COFFEE (the capitalization indicates how important this divine beverage is to me) and granola or oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts. then I tend to the bills if they need it, i pay a few and give thanks that i can. did you ever hear of giving thanks for the bills? if you can pay them, you should express gratitude. then i take another hit of the divine brew, then i’m out the door for work, play, etc. you’re right – a good start is essential for taking on the rest of the day.
