Writing challenge, Day 22: your morning routine

My morning routine. In my case it should have been called "your afternoon routine" because it's not unusual anymore for me to wake up sometime after noon. But that can be expected when you go to bed between 3am and 4am, and it takes more than an hour to get to sleep. One time I'm going to write about that, but I'll save it for later.

For the sake of today's entry, I'll pick a random Wednesday. That way, this entry will stay morningish rather than afternoonlike. I wake up about 7:30, get dressed, grab a banana, and head out to my car. I pick up the newspapers and head out to the West Simi Job and Career Center. There, I attend the meeting of my OPEN group. I think I've written about OPEN before, but a little refresher...it stands for Outstanding Professionals Employment Network; it's my networking group. I'm on the Administrative Committee, which oversees the weeklong workshops and preparation for the group's Wednesday and Friday meetings. I make a pot of coffee, put out napkins, cups, utensils, sweetener, teabags, and a couple of pitchers of water. The Executive Committee meets from 9 to 10, our individual committees meet from 10 to 11, and our guest speaker begins his/her presentation at 11. These presentations run till about 12:30, at which time our comittee puts everything away and cleans up the room to its pre-meeting condition. Then I'm off to lunch and my afternoon.

Interesting morning, huh? Next time I'll discuss a family member that I'm not too fond of. That ought to be...interesting.
