What decision(s) do you make as soon as you rise up in the morning, bathroom trips don't count ?
Check cuddlecomfort ?
Decide what to wear?
Whether to eat breakfast in or dine out?
Go in to work or call in sick?
What?
I'll post my response in a bit
.
Should I go pee and come back to bed or can I hold it another 30 minutes til it’s time to wake up.
Coffee and cuddlecomfort. They should make that tee 👕
@Morpheous I'm at the age where an alarm clock is not needed. If I want my 6 hours to end at 600 am, I'll drink up to an hour before bedtime. If I want to sleep until 7:20, I stop hydrating a couple of hours earlier.
My first decision is usually breakfast in or out, followed by what to wear, shorts or jeans. The night before, I select a watch, for the following day.
@emptytelephone
Good idea. Etsy is waiting on your call
Same as Morpheus.
On Monday, the lawn service can wake me. On Friday the trash service. It's a tough life.
Beyond bio stuff, the first thing I do upon rising each day is a set of 50 gentle squats. I've been doing this for about 30 years now.
@HarleyGirlKate You youngins, always exercising. lol
@Morpheus nailed it 🤣
Sleep for 5 more minutes or go to the gym…. Usually sleep wins and it’s not for
My mornings are usually just following a routine. There's some variability in the timing, and breakfast sometimes requires some thought.
Hit snooze and go back to sleep. I squeeze out every millisecond of sleep possible cause I hate mornings.
How long to let the dog try and lick my face off before I push him off. He’s quite aggressive about how excited he is that I’m finally awake.
It’s a cross between what @KamikaziNinja86 & @CentralFLCuddle said. Sometimes what @Morpheus said. Getting Dressed is the easy part. It’s always jeans and a pocket T-shirt for work.
Decisions, or actions?
As someone who struggles a lot with decision fatigue as the day wears on, I do my best to structure my morning to have as little active decision-making as possible. It's not a strict routine, per se, but more a rough outline with a menu of options I choose from depending on how I feel when I wake up and how much I plan to do later. When you have to strictly budget your mental and physical energy, flexibility is key so some mornings I do the bare minimum and other mornings I take my time and squeeze in a lot. IYKYK.
For instance, this morning I woke up quite sore from yesterday's physical therapy, after only sleeping 3.5 hours. After the bathroom, I fed the cats then I had my first actual choice: do I go downstairs to get caffeine and let the cats have catio time before it's too hot, or do I go back to bed for a couple hours? I opted for the former - nausea wasn't bad, so I got some toast to take morning meds with, let the boys have their enrichment, caffeinated....then I went back to bed lol. Had I woken up less sore I would have likely stayed awake to tackle a couple of small chores early before NorCal became a frying pan - but that wasn't in the cards for today. Today was a low spoons, no bones, pickup truck splat kind of morning, so I rolled with it. Or rather I didn't roll, I limped and used all the hand rails available, but same difference 😅
Off-topic and unnecessarily adult-themed. -Moderator
Come up with a reason for another day of existence, take meds, make a nice big cup of dark roast coffee. Check email, or texts from when I was asleep. I wake up at 5 am usually, so since I'm not working due to an accident, I'll spend an hour or two moving at a glacial pace. Before my accident I would get up take meds drink a bunch of water, have my pre-workout, head to the gym for 6 or 7, get a good 1 to 2 hour workout in, come home eat relax an slowly get ready to head to work at 11. Pretty basic.
Pet the dog or relieve the bladder. 😂
Baking.
@cuddlekind7 My weakness! What do you bake?
Have coffee before anyone tries to speak to me
Check the weather, decide on outfit.
Coffee 🧟♂️
Which fur baby to cuddle and pet first?.........or coffee, it is a mutli-layered toss-up.
Wait, what happened to @LionsFan ?? I’m gone for 24 hrs and I come back and a regular is banned. lol (love the forum)
@g_w_t_w He accused someone who was sexually traumatized of being sexist for not freely cuddling with men, to name just one.

He got a timeout on the same gender cuddling thread. I'm sorta assuming he got unkind or something with the mods about the timeout. He says some uncalled for stuff, and he is obviously intelligent enough to know better. I will miss his better posts.
@achetocuddle
and he is obviously intelligent enough to know better
I think your experience with him varied greatly from mine.
