I’ve come to realize that I have a routine I follow every time I come in to work. At my previous job, we had a 9:15 meeting every morning, which often interrupted my routine, but that is no longer so for the past three weeks I’ve noticed I do the same thing every morning.

I come in to my office, turn on my computer, take my three cups to the kitchen, wash them, stop at the water cooler (and heater), dump a packet of Lower Sugar Apples & Cinnamon oatmeal in my large red ExxonMobil mug (thanks, Dad), fill that and my “WTF?” coffee mug up with hot water, fill my water glass up with cold, and head back to my desk. I pop a bag of Guayaki Yerba Mate in in coffee mug, chow down on my oats, drink half the glass of water, finish my oats, remove teabag from coffee cup, add a spoonful of local wildflower honey in to tea, drink tea.

Every day, without fail. What ya got?
