Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.

    Drinking + expensive vegan takeout on Fridays. I’m not a big drinker, I work from home and I’m kind of a loner. I like watching a really good show or listening to music while I drink and I have a lot more fun than going out, potentially drunk driving and listening to terrible low quality music out in the world.

    I’ve been in a bad place lately and I kind of needed this. Thank you… At first I didn’t know how to answer this question.

    Going to bed and calling the cats in to sleep with us. Some one always goes in the ‘leg basket’. When I wake up I pet anyone around, kiss the S.O. and start my day.

    It’s not everyday but I leave sticky notes around with sayings or love notes for the S.O. I enjoy everything about this.

      Currently have not one but two in the leg basket, lol. They rarely sleep with us and when they do even more rare for them to snuggle together despite being litter mates. I have to pee but i hate to disturb the cuddling. They’re in the early adult years and snuggled as kittens so I hope they’ll eventually return to doing it more often.

        That’s why I’m here. I have one in the basket, one at my feet, and the other wrapped around my left arm… Its 4am, I can’t sleep, as soon as one of them moves I’m going to get up ans watch some TV before work.

        We have a two 1 year olds from the same litter, they cuddle as kittens but not so much anymore. The male is a bit of a jerk to the female but he’s starting to settle down.

        Also, 2 kittens, they were neutered a month or two ago. They’re crazy and cuddle with everyone when they’re not ripping up our toilet paper all over the house or locking themselves in a room (playing behind the door until it closes)

      Can’t have cats in the bedroom. I’d wake up 3-5 times a night because somebody jumped on me or is sniffing my face with all those tickling whiskers.

        I hear this! Mine now tries to snuggle up by shoving his butt toward my face, and draping his tail across my mouth.

    Every day when I come home from work, I kneel on the top step of our stairs and call our dogs over. They sit on the landing and put their front paws on my shoulders while I scratch their sides and pet them. My wife has taken to calling this ritual “motivation.” The dogs really love having a couple minutes of solid attention when I come home and it’s a good way for me to switch gears into home-brain, since my work is very stressful and tends to take over.

    Put a smile to my face to see so many cats (and dogs) involved.

    When I get up and do my morning business on the toilet, the cat comes and rolls around on the bath mat in front of my ear scratches and cuddles included. Turning on the bidet (yes, hidden flex) is the audible clue that business is concluded, he gets up, wait patiently in the door frame while I start brushing my teeth. I then walk downstairs (while brushing my teeth), cat as added tripping hazard on every step. He again waits patiently while I start the coffee maker, and only when I open the door of the cat food and treats cabinet, he starts being agitated until I put food in the bowl and put it down for him. And then there’s always this glance back, blinking before he digs in, and this very moment is my treasure for the day.

    I make a point to name files and folders in a goofy way pretty often. “BigListOfSerialNumbersIGuess”, “SurveyStuff”, “RandoDocs”.

    Somehow I keep it all straight, much to my colleagues’ dismay 😂 good thing cloud-powered search is friggin quick

    Coming home from work, having a little snack, a glass of tea, sitting in my chair, and playing a few games of euchre on my iPad

    No matter how hectic her morning, if I make myself a coffee, i bring it over so my SO can have a sip.

    She loves coffee but can’t deal with too much caffeine.

    Whenever we cross state lines we raise our hands and go “whoop, whoop.” I have no idea when this started, but it brings us joy whenever we’re on a road trip.

    After I shower I will blow dry my hair for 30 minutes (they are dry after about 5). I need that time somehow.

    Doing psychedelics and getting in touch with my creativity or inner child. Tending to my altar, and spiritually feeling like I connect with my ancestors.

      Psychedelics are… greatest thing I have ever done. Though I wouldn’t call them a ritual.

        I guess it’s how you do it, I wouldn’t call it a stupid ritual but sometimes I like doing them recreationally for no reason but to enjoy myself when I need a pick up. So I’ll just watch movies or listen to albums a lot of the movies I pick are from my childhood

    Pretty simple: Every morning I watch at least one episode of a light headed tv show. Always start with something good in the day.
