I get up before the alarm, as I can't bare to get startled. Dog is still sleeping.. Hit the bathroom for everything, and turn the computer on, on the way to the kitchen to prepare coffee to turn on ten minutes before I leave. Then the dog crawls out of bed, and sits patiently for me to go out with him. I stand on the steps while he lifts his leg to the tree, and it's back in to watch t.v., and read the newspaper. Read emails, start coffee, and then it's out the door to drop dog, and paper at mom's.. I do all that, and get into the office by 7:30.. It's a good thing my staff doesn't come in until 9:00..
