Very interesting. My morning routine starts with being walked over by at least one cat and usually two, and then being made to feed three cats. I can only do the 12 hour fast thing if I don't decide I'm doing it. As soon as I say I'm doing it then I'm starving five minutes later.
Anyway, I love the idea of taking an ordinary and potentially boring subject (what one has for breakfast) and turning it into something much larger.
Don’t forgot that, in addition to pressing the heart, the reader could also go into the comments and leave a nice little message thanking the writer for sharing his work and being a part of the morning routine.
Thanks, Lyle. I am an elderly woman whose routine is now governed by the needs and habits of my dog and cat. My early morning self care involves cleaning up whatever they got up to overnight, including removing dead wild life from the premises. I would much prefer your routine. Mary
They’re either the cashew clusters from Costco, which are too damn good and I end up eating too many of them in one sitting, or some other brand from Grocery Outlet that I can’t remember, which aren’t as good but still pretty darn tasty. Both of them tend to not be in stock often, though, unfortunately
I appreciate that you were able to get into the problematic aspects of optimized routines while keeping it short and notalung it a screen essay, but rather expanding into other forms of self-reflection.
Thanks, DB! It all started from a free writing prompt during a writing workshop I helped run. I liked how my mind went to unexpected places, all from a simple prompt.
There's enough order and flow to it while weaving in and out of interconnected thoughts that I encourage you to return to this mode in subsequent posts.

EVERYTHING is a story if you know how to write. You sure do.

So...thank you!
You make a compelling point, Matt
Found myself smiling throughout this entire piece. Love this!!! (but not enough to try cottage cheese, soz)
Lololol
Very funny, some of it was familiar. Thank you.
Thanks, Lewis!
Lyle that was cool, the dynamic of that piece just kept getting better and better as it went on. Thank you!
Thanks, Chandler! It was a fun one to write.
Wordle on the toilet! Now THAT is a time saver, if you ask me. Super funny slice of your life, Lyle. Thanks for sharing it with us
Gotta stack those habits to be more efficient!
I can’t believe you just talked me into eating cottage cheese for breakfast.
A little food inception

Thanks for making my writing part of your Saturday morning routine, Mary!
Your note about removing dead wild life reminded me of this hilarious post/comic I read years ago: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_kill
Ok but what are the exact nut clusters you use so I can try to REPLICATE your precise morning routine??? 😂😂

You nailed my morning routine when I see one of your posts, lol!
Thanks for including my writing in your Saturday morning routine, Martine!
I loved today's post. Thanks for making me think, smile, and ponder my habits. :)
Thanks for making my writing part of your Saturday morning routine, Kris!
