I\u2019ve been wondering why it takes me so long to get started in the morning.\u00a0 Last Sunday, when Victoria asked the choir to come 15 minutes early, I thought it\u2019s hard enough to get there at the usual time of 9:30.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also noticed when people stay here, or when I go somewhere else, even where meals get prepared, I find that my routine gets messed up, which is not good for my health.\u00a0 So I thought I\u2019d write down what I have to do in the morning.<\/p>\n
9:25\u00a0 Starting to drink my third cup of tea.\u00a0 I woke up at 6:45 so my morning routine takes about 2hrs 40m.\u00a0 Feeling very stiff, I first sat up in bed and bent forward to stretch my spine.\u00a0 I don\u2019t get very far and I can feel the tight muscles.\u00a0 Get up, make tea, write in journal.\u00a0 Forgot to take probiotic capsule, it has to be taken an hour before a meal.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dog whines at door.\u00a0 I go out with her on a leash to let her pee and poop.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s 9:38 and I\u2019m just starting to drink my tea \u2014<\/p>\n
Make second cup of tea.\u00a0 Take Lamotrigine.\u00a0 Write in journal some more.\u00a0 When I\u2019ve finished my tea I start the prunes.\u00a0 While the water is coming to the boil I put my nine kinds of supplements into 3 little cups.\u00a0 When the water boils, I turn it to simmer, set the timer for 20 minutes.\u00a0 Roll out my yoga mat, do some stretches (forward bend much easier now) and postures.\u00a0 Today I stopped before the 20 minutes were up, rolled up mat, put on outdoor clothes.\u00a0 When the timer rings, I put the prunes in a bowl, rinse the pan, fill it, put eggs in.\u00a0 Start the eggs at half flame, set timer for 10 minutes.\u00a0 Then I have to make a mix of water, magnesium CALM, cider vinegar, liquid magnesium malate.\u00a0 All this is in service to keeping my intestines moving.\u00a0 I sit down with my prunes and mineral mix and check email.\u00a0 When the timer rings, I turn eggs down to simmer, set timer for 10 minutes.\u00a0 Then I start preparing Mocha\u2019s breakfast.\u00a0 Canned dog food, coconut oil and fish oil.\u00a0 Then I have to grab her and force her mouth open for 3 drops of homeopathic detoxifier.\u00a0 Then I give her her breakfast as a reward.\u00a0 I do this, because although she took them fine for a few days, she\u2019s now running away when I get out the drops.\u00a0 I hope doing them just before food doesn\u2019t lower their effectiveness.\u00a0 When my eggs are done, I dump the hot water \u2014 on something that needs washing if possible \u2014 put cold water in to cool the eggs.\u00a0 I put some rice in a bowl and heat it in the microwave for 1 minute.\u00a0 Meanwhile I\u2019m taking the shells off the eggs and rinsing them.\u00a0 When the rice is hot I put the eggs on top, cut up the eggs, add salt.\u00a0 I eat the eggs and rice while also taking my supplements.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget that the dog gets the last bite of my meal.\u00a0 Finally I get to sit down with my third cup of tea.\u00a0 Today the dog asked to go out, so that took extra time, maybe 10 minutes.\u00a0 Finally finally I get to drink my third cup of tea.\u00a0 Usually read or play solitaire while drinking.\u00a0 Today I wrote all this.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve finished the tea at 9:50.\u00a0 So my whole morning routine today took 3hrs and 5min.\u00a0 I still need to take fiber in fruit juice, but probably won\u2019t get to that until later in the day.<\/p>\n
No wonder I\u2019m so slow to get started in the morning.\u00a0 It takes a while to wake up enough to do everything I have to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
