After already haven woken up a few times, peeking at the clock, burrowing back down to sleep, I awaken to the shrill of my alarm clock. I get up blearily, turn it off. I grab my towel and head to the bathroom. Brushing and showering, I head back to my room, and get back in bed for 20 minutes.
I finally pull myself out of its warm embrace and then get dressed in supersonic speed: about 1 min on average. I comb my hair, put lotion on my face. Some days I put on makeup but I usually don't bother. It's just work, afterall.
I grab my jacket, step out of my room and am met by my kitten meowing 'good morning' at me with still sleepy eyes, and rolls on his back for some loving up. After a few mins of that, we get up and head down to the kitchen where I prepare his breakfast, and get my own going. I slap up a lunch and light a diya to do some morning praying, eat breakfast, and then pack up my bag and head for the front corridor, with the kits following. I slip on my flats, say goodbye to the kits and I'm off.
Usually the other kids are out and about in the neighbourhood, heading to school. I walk to my busstop, and wait with half closed eyes as I soak in the morning sunshine, and get on the bus, find my seat and promptly go back to sleep for the 40 minute ride to the train station. Get off the bus, head down to the station platform, board train, find seat, and again sleep for the 40 minute ride downtown, where I get off and get on my streetcar that takes me to work.

At work, I sit at my desk in front of my computer and begin the day's work which involves a lot of files and phone calls, meetings. I normally get the load of work finished by mid morning and then I lighten up and blog, or visit with some friends for a while, have lunch, dig into work again and take another light work/break before heading home, where I make and have dinner, clean up a bit, and then relax before being bundled up for bed :B
