Morning Ritual

In bed
Wake up
Yawn, stretch (like the true feline I am)
Take a quick look at C, still sleeping like a baby

Bathroom, asthma medication (breathing is important!)
Razor, shaving foam, lather up
Under arms, rinse blades
Between legs, gently, don't want to cut myself, rinse blades
Lower legs, rinse blades
Run hands over shaved areas to verify they're smooth
Can't resist touching in between the lips once again
Feels good

Shower, warm water trickling down from above
Wash hair and face
Lather up washcloth
Smooth over skin, stop for a second to enjoy chosen scent of the morning
Watch soapy water swirl down the drain
Towel off

Quick look in mirror as I step out
Scented skin lotion, followed by perfume of the day
All the stuff for the face
Deodorant
Towel dry hair, add whatever product needed for today's do

Back to bedroom - stark naked
Kiss C 'good morning' to gently wake him up
Feel his hands cup my breasts
Slide down over the body
Get dressed
Blow-dry hair
Make-up - skin, cheeks, eyes, eyebrows, mascara, no lips yet
Final touches to hair - we're getting close

Kitchen
Make breakfast - eggs, ham, tomato
Eat
Chat with C about whatever is on our minds

Final stop in bathroom
Brush teeth (aaah! minty fresh), lips
Last look in mirror - ready to go

At the door
Shoes and outerwear on
Grab briefcase with computer
Check that cell phone, make-up and ticket for subway are in purse
Kiss C goodbye
His hands sliding in under the jacket
Down my skirt
Yet another day has begun
