Awake, fill dishwasher, make breakfast. As soon as I have a nice hot breakfast sitting in front of me with a nice cup of coffee, the 2yo wakes up so I abandon it and go get him up for his morning change and toothbrush. We have our breakfast together. Mom gets up and takes over the kid. I change into my bike costume, load an engineer costume in the backpack, and head out to the garage to disentangle a bike.
Then I go back in the house to get my badge. This one step can take half an hour depending on whether I can remember where I left it.
Then I go back in the house to get my pills.
Then I go back in the house to get my lunch.
Then I close the garage door.
Then I open it again to get my helmet.
Then I open it again to find my earbuds.
Then I start out.
Then I go back because my tires seem soft.
Then I go back because the air is too chill, so I go back for a sweater and gloves.
Then I go back because I forgot my pills or badge or lunch...
Really it's amazing I ever manage to leave home.
