Breakfast

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

The excitement of porridge

The joy of tablets

A cool shower

If I can afford it

Trying to get dressed

Without getting tangled

Feed the cats

Work out what I can do today

It all takes time.

Wobbly arms and leg

Don’t help my balance

Feel like I’m moaning again

Let’s just go back

To bed…..

A struggle

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Get up and make a brew so I can take my medication. Have a wash. Feed the cats, make breakfast, eat it, stick porridge bowl in the sink to soak. Clean teeth, put on clothes, struggle with that because my arm shakes and my balance is bad and its difficult with a frozen shoulder. Struggle to pull on my shoes, sit down in my chair and probably go back to sleep for a bit. Put the radio on to a talk station. Try and decide what I need to do, start watching daytime TV to avoid the world for another day!

Sounds really boring! I don’t really have rituals, my mornings are quite mundane.
