2. If I remember any dreams, bask in the memories.
3. Languish awhile (on good days this is just a few minutes) before throwing off the covers.
4. Starting the water heating for my spouse's coffee, and drinking a few sips of the warming water to start my own rehydration.
5. Brushing my teeth.
6. Cold shower, with almost no dilly-dally now that I'm almost three years into the habit. It feels so good AFTER :) and has helped me eschew caffeine (for GERD & anxiety reasons, and maybe my skin & guts have trouble with coffee?).
7. If my child is still asleep and I'm up early enough and my spouse is at home, I go for a half-hour walk-perchance-to-jog. Sometimes I'm itching to move faster, other times the deliberate walking (practicing good posture), breathing, and open awareness is where it's at.
8. Back home and if my kid's awake we snuggle for a few minutes followed by a half-hour or so of preparation for the day (including medically-necessary things; easier now that she's growing up), otherwise if my spouse is awake I'll join her in bed or I'll make her coffee and start cutting up vegetables and greens for my breakfast.
