Heaven forbid it's to turn on your computer and go to Adobe Forums website or grab your smartphone. If it's either of those you need a 12 step program and fast.

Reach for my iPhone and check the news to see what he's done now.

(Guess I qualify for the 12-step program.)

  That _really_ made me laugh out loud.  In fact I'm still laughing as I type this.

I guess I had better play after commenting on Barb's post.

  1. Put the kettle on.
  2. Feed the cats if my wife has not already done so.
  3. Take a bunch of pain killers .
  4. Put the heater on in the bathroom — I hesitate to say it is cold here right now with some of you living in Colorado, and Benjamin in Cedar Rapids where it gets properly cold, but I guess it is what you are used to.
  5. Drink tea while reading cable news.  (CNN, Washington Post, Politico, BBC, Bipartisan Report — I keep trying to stop looking at the last one because it so over the top, but even after deleting the bookmark, I keep going to find it again.)
  6. Eat breakfast I made the evening before of an orange, Brazil nuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, dates and cereal.
  7. By this time I am starting to come out of the withdrawal fog that comes with having to take a lot of pain killers.  I hate mornings because of this.
  8. Check the forums to see if Dave has left me any interesting threads to answer. 
  9. Shower, dress, and on with my day.  Today I am off to the Menz Shed to carry on with a big metal stand for our sheet metal machine.  I love being able to use the machine tools again, although my welding is not what it used to be because of poor eyesight and shaky hands.  But that's what they invented angle grinders for (cleaning up duck poo welds).

First thing I do is make a smoothie and have a bowl of yogurt and granola.

After that I take a shower,  then check the surf. After I surf or at least I will jump in the ocean I will come home.

Then turn on  the Mac computer on and then open Adobe Animate and play. I love playing around in Adobe Animate

??  I hesitate to ask as I have a feeling I am going to regret doing so, but curiosity has the better of me.

Ha. "Eat the frog" is a phrase used in the business world and Mark Twain once spoke of it. It is a technique to help avoid procrastination. It simply means do the thing that most needs doing (that you would avoid doing) and get it out of the way first thing. 🙂
.
I suppose I could have answered the question with "Open my eyes" or "Shave" or some such but my priority every morning first thing is to "eat the frog". Plus it sounds way more interesting. 🙂

It does not have the same meaning in French.

1. Bathroom and shower.

2. Coffee and read the news on my iPad to see what he-who-shall-not-be-named has done — no laughing from me here, Trevor, I just slap my forehead in disgust. First I read the Washington Post, followed by the New York Times, the New Yorker, BBC, and The Guardian.

3. Watch snippets from the late-night comedians, and this is where I laugh out loud — at the same time feeling sick that this is my country and this is my life: i.e., Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers.
Jimmy Kimmel on GOP’s Secret Health Care Plan - YouTube

4. Then I get dressed and am off to teach classes, often driving 50 miles.

Does the iPad qualify me for the 12-step?

3.  more coffee, feed the cats

4.  call my mother (she is 83 so I check on her daily)
