Monday through Friday routine

Like most working stiffs, I have fallen into a usual workday routine. Goes something like this.
Wake up.
Cuss at sun for waking me once again. Just let me sleep a bit longer.
crawl out of bed.
Put on sweat pants. Mandatory now that I share a house with a 12 y.o. girl. Walking around in tightie whites or birthday suit is severaly frowned upon.
Grab tooth brush and paste.
Head into bathroom.
Brush jibs and floss (sometimes, the flossing not the brushing, my wife might disagree though given my past)
Admire well sculpted 1 pack in the mirror while making silly faces.
Turn on the shower.
Remove sweats.
Check water temp.
Step in shower.
Lather up.
cuss up storm when leaky toilet upstairs robs the cold water and I get scalded. I have developed a 6th sense about when this might happen. I tried timing it but probably due to the earths rotation and the position of the moon relative to venus it is random. using intuition I've been right once out of 138 showers, which is really pretty good if you think about it.
Shut off shower.
Grab towel.
Smell it to check freshness.
Towel off regardless of funkiness, fresh towels in laundry room. (yes, i'm brilliant)
Admire scalding redness in the mirror on 1 pack abs.
More funny faces.
Sweats go back on.
Scurry into room.
Locate workout clothes, checking for relative funkiness. (using twice saves laundry soap- heal the planet)
Pack gym bag depending on day with clothes, swimsuit or both. Usually both just in case.
Dig out work clothes. Grab keys, money, cards, phone, water bottle.
Fill waterbottle in kitchen.
head out to car.
Cuss for forgetting something on above list (keys, phone, water bottle, underwear)
Head back in house.
Grab offending item.
Back to car.
Start car.
Drive to work.
Fiddle with radio.
Drive off road while fiddling with radio.
Get to gate.
dig for i.d. card. (it is a missile base for Uncle Sam after all)
smile and say "good morning"
Drive to Dining Facility.
Get eggs, bacon, ham and sausage.
Find hot sauce.
douse eggs, bacon, ham and sausage.

Devour paleo plate while thinking of hardening arteries and what first heart attack might be like.
