About My Morning Routine

[By D. Kellus Pruitt; DDS]

For lack of anything else to write about at the moment, let me describe my morning routine on the weekends.

I like to get up early – 5:30 am yesterday morning. More often than not, Bo, our sheltie, is waiting to greet me because he knows we get to go after the newspaper. That’s exciting. Bo is a morning dog as well. I brew up some coffee, read the newspaper – headlines mostly – and then I sit down in an overstuffed chair with my laptop to check my Google alerts and email before I start writing on whatever strikes me as interesting.

Commencing this Lifestyle                                  

Many writers; like my friend Jill Kring Carter who writes professionally for DentalTown and other publications, do their best work late at night. My mom, who painted professionally, liked the hours between 10 pm and 2 or 3 am for her art when she didn’t have to teach school the next day.

My sons, Ryan and Kellus, like the late hours as well. Sometimes on the weekends, I’m getting up when they are going to bed after having played online video games with friends across the nation all night. That means that while they are sleeping, and before Marci gets up and turns on electrical appliances, I sit nice and cozy, hammering away – constructing sentences out of words and then rearranging it to say with surgical precision what I intend to say. I enjoy it.

Shutting off the Laptop 

About the time I run out of battery for my laptop is when dogs start whining and barking, the TV comes on and the day springs to life. After I turn off my computer, sometimes Ryan and I go out for breakfast and sometimes Marci fixes eggs and bacon, pancakes or French toast. Otherwise I heat up a bowl of oatmeal to eat, visit some, and then head to the office where it’s quiet all day long.

Assessment 

If you are a doctor, medical management consultant, or any sort of accountant, economist or financial advisor; please tell us how you spend your non-professional time /day. Is this post appropriate for a professional forum like the ME-P. Or, is it TMI and better suited for a social network site? Does anyone even care?
