I was noticing that too!! When I had an office to go to, mine was about 30 minutes

 

[Orwellian69]

When I'm in the office its anything between a 20-40 minute drive commute.

That’s how my days were when I went into the office. I still think back to my mornings of getting kids up early, juggling everything out of the house, dropping at daycare and driving to work.

I know a ton of people still do it, and kudos to them! I’m just glad I don’t have to anymore - so much work!!

Same!

Work days my mornings are controlled tightly by my routine to the minute. I dislike being rushed in any aspect of my life so I wake about the same time daily. I have an alarm set but 99% of the time I’m awake before it rings. I have a senior cat on an appetite stimulant and she’s usually mewing for food anyway. I eat breakfast, make my bed, and grab my lunch that I prepared the night before, and etc. I like to watch the local news and I used to get a newspaper delivered. But our paper isn’t printed in town or state anymore . I don’t drink coffee really - but I love the smell of coffee brewing. Then off to
the office for a 30 minute drive and listen to talk radio.

Weekends are still an early awake, but a slower start with no tv normally.

Mine commute, back when I worked, was anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic.

My kids would dry heave if I said that.

Good morning everyone, hope you have a wonderful day! Don't mind me, I'll just be sitting here by the fire drinking my coffee, watching the sun come up...

Sounds like the perfect place to be! I think it's a wrap up in a blanket while out there too
So cozy!

It was an hour for 25 years until last month. Corporate in their infinite wisdom decided to consolidate all the satellite offices into headquarters. Only 9 miles they said. Now it includes my previous commuter train with 2 light rail transfers and adds an hour.

So cozy!

Absolutely! I'll warm the blanket up for you, Ma'am

Morning cozy corner

I couldn’t fall back asleep, so I brought breakfast.

While I'm very appreciative of the spread, there's one thing wrong with this picture and you know EXACTLY what it is!

Good morning everyone!!
I join you from my soaking tub with a cup of coffee ️. I like a little quiet before I start my day.

What about y’all? Do you get up and moving right away? Do you wake up and relax? Do you jump out of bed and workout? Do you hit snooze 10 times?

What do your mornings look like?

Sounds like a lovely, calming way to start your day! Mine look more like jumping awake off the couch, realizing the big kids still need breakfast and will be getting picked up by the bus in a half hour which is then a mad dash to make breakfast for them, get there stuff together and then once they're off, finally take my first sip of hot coffee and eat some breakfast myself just in time for the twins to wake up...baby phase can't be done soon enough ️

Haha okay but that honestly sounds like a full-on Olympic event before 8am I'm impressed!

You’re over there running a full household operation on a countdown clock, fueled by chaos and eventually well-earned coffee… That first quiet sip after the bus leaves has to feel earned in a way mine never will.

And hey - “baby phase can’t be done soon enough” is so real… but also, you’re in the thick of a season that’s equal parts exhausting and kind of legendary. Survival mode with moments of magic tucked in.

If nothing else, I vote you deserve a hot, uninterrupted coffee and at least one morning where no one needs anything from you for five whole minutes

Envious of your peaceful morning.

Weekdays are 5:30 wake up, water and coffee, kid and husband out the door. 55 minutes of time for myself, treadmill and weights while the clock ticks down. At the buzzer, I feed more kids, pack lunches, shower, and schlep to school drop off.

When I get home, I remember we have a dog, and give him attention while I make myself presentable. By 8:40 I make an espresso, sit in my home office and take stock of the 5-8 hours of zoom meetings ahead of me.

I'm so excited to visit the cozy corner and to meet and chat with all the great folks here. But I have to warn you that I'm a bit of a pussy magnet
