    Hit snooze on my alarm about 4 times, until I have absolutely no time before I need to drive to work, so I roll out of bed, put on the first outfit I can find, grab a breakfast bar and head out the door.

    I've been out of action for a while so my routine has been

    Get up at 8-ish
    Make big bowl of porridge with egg, banana and honey and double-bag mug of rooibos tea
    Sit in front of the internets while eating breakfast.
    Continue to sit in front of the internets for way, way too long.
    eventually decide to have a shower and find something practical to do with my day.

    I'll be starting an industrial design degree on Monday, so that should result in rather less being a lazy bum.
