Getting up in the morning....

[fajrdrako]

Okay, here's this week's fun with the Friday Five:

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings?

Sometime before 6.45. I set my alarm for 6.45 but it has been years since I have actually slept late enough to hear it go off and wake me up. Usually I'm awake and up anywhere between 6.30 and 6.43.


2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late?

Usually not. Sometimes till 7.30 or so. Mostly my body likes to do what it's used to doing: getting up at the same time as always.


3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?

Turn on the computer. Uncover the bird cages and talk to the birds while they wake up.


4. How long does it take to get ready for your day?

About twenty minutes. Usually. Unless I get distracted by e-mail.


5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast?

Some weekend mornings, I visit with maboroshimaki and Marcelle, who live in the same apartment building I do, or they come to my place, and we have coffee and breakfast together. Sometimes I make French Toast. Sometimes we go to Bridgehead, a wonderful coffee place down the street.

On some special occasions, I meet friends for a buffet brunch at places like the Chimo Hotel.

And sometimes we do dim sum on Somerset St., or at the Ogilvie Mandarin.

My favourite special breakfast, especially at fannish conventions: Eggs Florentine.
