What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
My brothers and sisters in Erdtree, what the fuck is that?! When the clock strikes midnight, I’m usually at work. There is no “1st hour of the day” for me.
Everyone’s 5am is my 2pm. I’m taking a piss, washing my hands, brushing my teeth, making sure my cat is fed and then I walk out the door to meet my daughter at the school bus stop. I ask her how her day was and as usual, she’s so zapped from school that she asks for alone time so she can chill in her mom’s bed in the living room and asks me to mellow out.
Eventually, I chug 6oz of coffee brewed via espresso maker with 1Tbsp of raw cane sugar as my cat decides to sit next to me at the dinner table as I contemplate what I will do next.
I like to believe I usually treat my non-work days as an open world rpg game. I could work out or game. I could play guitar or read a book. I could watch/listen to video essays while I draw. The actual definitive points that exist are showering, waking, feeding cat and child, showering and sleeping. What happens in between are never clearly defined.
Being a creature of the night also has drawbacks. I’m awake while everyone is concluding. I sleep while the world awakens.
