Having coffee, smth sweet and a followup cigarrete in the morning makes me happy to be awake. Or kiss goodbyes and hellos.
Every morning before I go to the kitchen for breakfast, I call out my bunnies, lie down in my bed, and have them jump on top of my chest to ask for food. I’d give them some pellets for breakfast right there and watch their little moufs chew for 10 minutes, then depending on their mood I’d either pet them for a bit, or watch them jump and zoom around the room.
This is almost always the best part of my day; every day I wake up half an hour before I’m supposed to, just so that I can do this :)
Bunnies are the best. I give mine a kiss everyday before work.
This sounds like the best way to wake up, oh my god!
Every morning my cat needs to play follow leader (she’s the leader of course) for a few minutes. She leads me around the house to make sure I see all the things she rubs her face on. Then she’ll jump up on the cat tree for pets and her morning pill. It’s probably close to a 10 minute ritual we go through everyday.
That’s too cute. Sounds awesome.
When I get home from work, I ask my dogs about their day and they freak tf out. I love it. My beagle gets especially wound up over it.
Getting home to dogs and feeling their attention and unconditional love must be great!
It is! They get so wound up. My beagle is so g-dang affectionate. My puppy isn’t as cuddly, but likes to wrestle me gently.
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.
My nerdy dad liked to tell us to “watch out for orcs!” dropping us off places. I carried on the tradition, and even though he passed a couple years ago I get to enjoy his joke since my SO and I say it to each other all the time, or variations of it. If its a water related destination I like to evolve it to “watch out for orcas!”
We’ve been playing Baldurs Gate 3 lately so its been “watch out for mind flayers!” a couple times, but the point is just a silly reference to something we love, just to add some goofy fantasy to an otherwise normal day. I like to imagine Orcs popping up irl in goofy ways when I hear it, like one charging the car while I wait for the atm thinking its some great metal beast. Or taking all yhe ground beef at the grocery store for a “great feast!” Plus one box of twinkies. Dumb shit like that :)
You just reminded me. My dad used to say “Don’t take any wooden nickels!” Had to get him to explain this, the first time he said it to me.
Morning hugs with my partner, very first thing when I wake up. I tend to curl up to them and stay there for at least 5 - 10 minutes before starting my day.
I’m an early bird, but they’re a heavy sleeper so usually they don’t mind :)This is honestly goals. I don’t have a partner but I dream of this. This is better than sex in my opinion.
I agree. If I had to choose between one or the other, I would choose hugs and cuddles without hesitation.
I hope you’ll find your special someone soon.I’m the opposite. If we haven’t had sex in a while cuddling is like hanging a big juicy steak in front of a starving person. It’s just frustrating as hell. I guess I’m an all or nothing kind of guy when it comes to physical intimacy.
visiting a nearby cat colony every single day before work. The cats have gotten used to me and I get to play with a lot of them everyday
EVERY day? What a way to start your day. Sounds awesome!
Damn, I wish this was mine
I leave food and water out for the local birds, and sit outside under a beautiful big tree, and birds come up, eat the food, have a drink and a bath/splash around, then some of them land on me and we have a chat. I actually get a lot more sense out of those interactions than I do with any human where I am, so it really helps. One little goober gets a crazy look in the eye, then (most of the time) gently bites my finger and half rolls over. So I roll him/her over and tickle the belly. It’s hard to stay grumpy when you start your day like that!
That’s sweet. Don’t birds relieve themselves in the vicinity due to this?
Love Mr Little Goober
I trained most of them to aim their tail feathers away before they do, but yes, sometimes it just gushes out when it gushes out. They’re wild birds, it’s part of the package. But I do put a towel on my lap, so that makes things easier. Also no scratches on the legs if the birds decide to fight each other on my lap. They do that especially in spring, when the hormones are fluctuating.
I call all of them goobers, so “Mr Goober” is called Derfred. It is the goofiest bird I have ever seen. I suspect it might’ve hit a window or car or something at some stage and stayed a bit silly. Derfred even bites and climbs on other birds, just playing. But the other birds aren’t always prepared to put up with it haha. Poor thing. But Derfred is healthy and happy.
Here are names I’ve given to some of the other birds:
-
Signore Salieri (has an unusually large beak and high “hair line”)
-
Mr Faith No More (actually a girl, but looks a lot like Mike Patton. Sounds dumb but I swear it’s true).
-
Mr Roy (has a rainbow-ish pattern on the head. Full name is Roy G. Biv).
-
Cleopatra (a lady bird who gets a lot of attention from the boys, and takes no prisoners. She’s always very nice to me, though)
-
Mr Blackbottom (he has a large black patch on his lower beak - completely harmless. Beaks are black as juveniles, then the black gradually fades as they get older).
-
The Scream (a girl bird who enjoys landing on my arm, staring me square in the eye, flapping her wings and screeching at me. No other reason than to chat/play. Weirdo).
-
John Deere (when I sing or talk, this goober stares at me like a deer in the headlights. As if I am threatening it. It knows full well I’m not threatening it, just a bit of a drama queen).
There are more but I can’t remember them right now.
Oh my god youre the bird whisperer. Love your naming capabilities.
Aww, I love this!! & I love that one of them looks like Mike Patton! I wish I could see that for myself, lol! I’m so glad you and the birdies have each other :)

I always make time to sit outside at night during a full moon. It’s one of the most peaceful sights, for me at least.
Jerking off every morning to get me going.
When my fiancée goes to work, she leaves at 6am. I’m usually asleep still so she wakes me for a kiss goodbye. I reply with sleepily with “drive safe, I love you”. If I’m to sleepy to say drive safe I worry ‘what if today she is in an accident, and I didn’t say it’. So I bought her a key tag thing that says it, so I know ive got myself covered incase I’m too sleepy
Awww
Making coffee and or tea. Organising my tool box.
Pretty simple: Every morning I watch at least one episode of a light headed tv show. Always start with something good in the day.
Any recommendations?
Letting my hair air dry with a morning walk after showering.
Stretching before sleep and then again in the morning.
Enjoying some tea and good food while catching up on YT.
Combining booze and difficult games.
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.
