My morning routine is a bit different at the moment, as I'm on holiday from work...
Wake up at 5:30am (when my partner gets up for work)
Check my emails/social media etc
Get out of bed & walk down to make breakfast
Eat breakfast with my partner (usually yogurt or gluten free toast with tea or coffee)
Work on projects online for an hour or so and then it's shower time!
After showering I comb through my hair, blow dry it, apply my skin care regime, followed by makeup (if I need it for the day)
+ then it's onwards with whatever the day may bring for me
Generic weekends with no specific plans:
Wake up around 7 or 8, for some reason, and lie in bed, watching television, reading, or playing with my phone. Think I will get up, but . . .
Fall back asleep at some point, and get up at 10:30 or so.
Get up, brush teeth
Drink a bottle of cold water
Feed the cat
Drink coffee, eat something
Watch television, play around on the computer, read the newspaper
Finally
Leave the house around 2, sometimes later, to do whatever it is that I am going to do.
I am not a fan of getting up and out of the house early. Ugh.
I'm up at least 90 minutes before my alarm (rarely past 5 am), not sure why I even set one.
Lay there blinking in the dark for a few
Pee and return to bed
Check emails, texts, etc and spend an hour or so catching up on what I missed while I slept.
Masturbation (3 out of 7 days)
Yogurt or over sized bowl of cereal for breakfast
Shower, hair, dress and either glasses or contacts depending on the day
Pee again
Turn the heat down
Warm my truck (even in the summer)
Listen to work voice mails while still in my driveway and triage what I need to do first
Yawn as I exit my yard

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
Early Morning Sickness.
I crawl out of bed at 6:45.
Gritty eyed only half alive.
I breathe in deep my own B.O.,
A nut case raves on the radio.
The door slams to with a crashing roar,
I'm off to bastard work once more.
My job is pretty intense these days, lots of long hours. I'm pretty sure I have a morning routine but the fog lasts for a bit so I'm not clear what it might be. I usually reach wakefulness after enough coffee and find myself in the office with my computer flashing a dozen reminders at me. I have no idea how the fuck I got there. During lunch I go out to check my vehicle for new dents or bloodstains. So far, so good.
When I'm working, I get up at 6:45am.
Go for a quick cigarette, jump in the shower.
Have breakfast, normally Wheetbix or cornflakes.
Get ready for work then leave.
On a day off, sleep until late, run errands then sit down and watch some supernatural.
watch TV, feed the cats, watch TV with the cats
-wake up
-lay in bed for 3 minutes
-shower
-put my hair up to towel dry
-eat a little something, HYDRATE, drink water!
-brush my teeth
-lotion EVERYWHERE, don't skimp on moisturizing your skin
-get dressed
-do my makeup
-do my hair, I find it easier to do my makeup first so my hair isn't in the way
-Mouthwash
That's it! I think a lot of people forget to start their day off with water. They jump straight to coffee, tea, or OJ but forget water
