    What's Your Daily Routine?

    7:00am - 11:00am: Wakes up somewhere in this timeframe.

    7:30am - do the nature calls routine (provided I've gotten up at this point).

    8:00am - Let the dogs out while I take a shower.

    8:30am - Log onto the net and check new Ebay listings and status of items I'm watching.

    9:00am - Log onto the museum and catch up on reading. This can either be quick or last a couple of hours.

    10:00am - Sit and stare at the walls and ponder "what the heck have I done with my life" which usually ends up with me lying on the floor and crying in a fetal position.

    10:30am - Remembers to take Anti-Depressants after crying on the floor in fetal position.

    10:35am - Realizes I need a Diet Coke to take meds and goes into Kitchen to get Diet Coke.

    10:36am - Gets into kitchen and forgets what it was I was going in there for. Stands bewildered trying to remember.

    10:37am - Goes back to desk in office and remembers why I needed to go into the kitchen.

    10:38am - Writes post it note to remind self to get diet coke once in kitchen.

    10:39am - Goes into kitchen but forgets post it note but remembers Diet Coke anyway.

    10:40am - Takes meds and thinks to self that I probably should check with a doctor about possibly having Alzheimer's. Dismisses idea.

    11:00am - check Ebay for yet more new listings.

    11:30am - Ponder whether I should actually do something important like laundry or just sniff out some clean clothes. Settles on wearing bathrobe.

    12:00noon - I remember that I've left the dogs outside who have been barking at passing cars.

    12:30pm - clean up the dog mess in the house because they've only been out for several hours and still don't know that that's where they are supposed to go.

    1:00pm - I start to think about feeding myself but get distracted by the sudden arrival of the mailman who has several packages from Ebay.

    1:30pm - I have gone through all my packages and then go straight on to looking the items over and leaving feedback on Ebay.

    2:00pm - Once again time to check on the lastest new listings on Ebay.

    2:30pm - Usually back on the Mego Museum again catching up on my reading.

    3:00pm - 6:00pm - Naptime.

    6:15pm - Back checking Ebay listings and Mego Postings.

    6:30pm - Remembers that I have to feed dogs and cat who are now all giving me dirty looks.

    7:00pm - Actually feeds dogs and cat who are now eating my shoes (mostly the dogs doing that one).

    7:30pm - Time to re-medicate because I have yet to do anything that I thought about doing earlier and the depression has returned.

    8:00pm - Looks in the Refrigerator for something to eat because I still have yet to do that because of being distracted by the mailman earlier. Settles on having a stack of sliced American Cheese. It would have been grilled cheese but the mice have once again gotten into the loaf of bread.

    8:05pm - Scrolls through 300 channels on TV looking for something to watch while eating half a stack of American Cheese. Finds nothing and returns to the Ebay listings and Mego Forums.

    9:00pm - Still hungry and returns to the Fridge and eats something that has been in there for perhaps days and tries to recall what this could possibly be.

    9:15pm - Actually does something like dust off toy shelves and takes pictures for Myspace page.

    10:00pm - Tries to remember if I actually took meds or not at 7:30. Now has to backtrack in mind and retrace steps...probably did.

    11:00pm - Get's bored from working on hobbies and looks for a TV series on DVD to watch in bed.

    11:10pm - Fights with dogs to give me back my pillows so I can lay down.

    11:15pm - Remembers that I should probably do the "nature calls" thing again and gets out of bed to go do that.

    11:20pm - Returns to find that the dogs have once again stolen my pillows.

    11:30pm - Watches several hours of TV on DVD with a dog laying on the top of my head and the other on top of my stomach.

    1:30am - finally begins to drift off to sleep but has to get up again due to "nature". Checks Ebay for a final time because I'm up anyway.

    2:00am - Goes back to bed and now pushes dogs off the bed.

    2:10am - Starts to fall asleep and dogs decide that it's time to start barking at every sound they hear.

    2:20am - allows dogs back on bed so they will be quiet and let me sleep.

    2:30am - Begins to think of all the things I want to get accomplished when I wake up in the morning and drifts off to sleep.

    Yeah it's sad but true!

    On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I get up really early and go to school (yes, back to college)...classes are from 8am to 4 pm on Monday, and 8-1 pm on Tuesday through Thursday. I then go home, eat something, then take a long walk...I love going to the local regional parks, I love walking in the forest like Little Red Riding Hood, lol.

    Friday through Sunday, I get up around 10am...work on my homework/assignments...go cruising on my ride, usually go to the movies on Fridays. I also like to eat out...so I hit a restaurant or two...it's my passion, lol.

    Saturdays, I love watching HBO and Showtime boxing, and usually have a couple of my buds join me and have a few beers together.

    Once it gets warmer, I'll be having BBQ's very weekend, another one of my passions, lol.

    I usually go to bed late, even during school days...I guess I'm just a vampire.

      Wow! Where to start. First, I TRY and not get into any ruts as I call them or anything that is too routine. I try and break the monotony as much as I can. I am always for doing things different so long as it is a good thing. In the winter I pretty much hibernate when in the Midwest. Other than traveling to warmer climates with my gf for nice get aways that is. I stock up early on as much as possible on groceries that do not perish and what not. I hate the cold with a passion. Out West in the winter (if you want to call it that) is a different story. Shopping, Shopping, Shopping and more Shopping. (I think you get the picture) The Spring time I come out of hibernation well rested and very much alive. I do like to sleep in and I consider myself a night owl. While most are sleeping I am up and about. If it were up to me and I did not have my gf I would be rolling out of bed at or around noon pretty much every day. My gf is pretty good to me and understanding of my sleep habits. In turn I give her the mutual respect by asking her if there is anything that she wants to do the night before so I can make sure to get enough sleep to get up earlier and well rested to make Momma happy. My gf and I enjoy going to sales every where we can find them. Department stores, Antique Malls, Estate Sales, For me not so much my gf as she is not into the Mego thing I pretty much like any kind of a sale that may have a Mego or Mego sized item that I can use for a custom or what have you. I am always on the look out for Mego scale items in stores every where we go. My gf and I are shopaholics. I am worse than her when it comes to shopping. Atleast I admit it though. She often has problems getting me out of the stores as I would like to stay and look around all day. She does not understand that I am looking for just the right size type of pieces. Without a doubt I am sure she can care less for that matter. She generally finds me when we happen to be apart in the stores looking at seperate things. When she tracks me down in the stores then I know that it is time to go. We also eat out quite a bit since we are on the go most of the day. Some times we do a lite breakfast at home then head off to have breakfast or lunch depending on what time of the day it is. We either have a nice quiet dinner at home which is rare because neither one of us really cooks much at all. When the weather is nice I BBQ for her and I. Although we pretty much like going out and trying new places. Not that my BBQing is bad by any means. We like taking little road trips when the weather is really nice. T-Top or convertible weather. Neither one of us are big on really long drives. In fact it is getting to the point where I don't even like to drive as much as I used to. I think that I am kind of getting burned out from all of the cruising that I did when I was a kid. So I let her do the driving so I can sight see. We do some of the usual stuff most people do like hang out with friends every now and then and shoot the bull with one another. Have fun in and out of the bedroom. Go to car shows. Sunday is generally a chill day or paper day as I call it. I like to chill and check out the new sales ads in the Sunday paper. Read an interesting article or two. During the week when we are not on the go I sit around at times and plan, project and think as to what my next moves may or may not be. Kind of like playing a good chess game. I make time to spend with our six cats. We play with them, love them and take real good care of them. They are like family to us. Each one has their own personalities just like people do. Other than that I find myself wearing out my welcome here at the Mego Museum. I like waiting for someone to post something "good" for sale in the market place here. I do occasional trades here and there although I mostly wish to purchase. At times I also like to help others out with parts and figures that they need for their Mego collections every so often. I am sure with the weather starting to turn really nice here in the Midwest that I will no doubt be straying farther and farther away from The Museum for good whiles at a time. I guess basically I do not want to have anything tyeing me down while the weather is nice. SO having said that IF someone should happen to send me any PM's or e-mails for requests by chance I hope that someone remembers this thread. I may not respond right away in the next weeks to come. I am currently working on finishing up on some recent trades and purchases so I am winding it down for a while. My intentions are to wrap up everything here so that no one should have to contact me and be in limbo. I do not like to be left hanging and I do not like to leave others hanging as well. Each day is different that is for sure. Every day is a new day filled with different opportunities. I look at each day like a new blank sheet of paper. It is my piece of paper to do with as I please. Alot of what I/we do depends on the weather, mood and of course how we feel health wise. Not to say that I will not be popping in from time to time here to see what is going on. Just not as often though I would imagine unless of course I really get bored and I just do not see that happening any time to soon.

        Grayhank you're so funny. My day is remarkably similar to yours, though I try not to get into any routines.

          Greyhank's day + hector's day - getting homework done + 6 cats + checking facebook every 1/2 hr + staring at toys - dusting + getting yelled at by GF for not dusting or doing homework = stretchandro's day

            I wake up at 5 and take care of the baby while my wife sleeps. I meditate for 20 minutes if Jonah cooperates. I make steel cut oatmeal with yogurt and coffee with cream and splenda. I get into my bike clothes and pack my work clothes. I leave the house at 7:25, catch the bus to SF at 7:30, work on my laptop on the bus, usually Mego museum or Dida stuff. Arrive in downtown SF at 7:50, bike 3 miles to work. Change clothes, mess around on the internet and get started working. Color pictures in all day like a sophisticated kindergartner. Leave work at 4:30, bike back to the bus terminal catch the 4:50 bus--meditate on the bus---and I'm home by 5:15. Take care of the baby and help with the house until he goes down at 7:30 or 8. Maybe watch some Tivo with dinner. Go down to the basement and do a couple hours work on Dida Displays, sleep by 10:30, couple of diaper changes in the night and do the same thing all over again.

            Life is sweet.

              I work shift work.
              I wake up, have a scratch
              Look at the clock and go back to sleep.

              Before the start of my day.

              Somedays I have to leave for work at 06:00
              Sometimes I leave at 14:30
              and sometimes I leave at 22:30

              And when I leave I cycle 20mins to work.

              Driving takes about the same time.

              And when I get into work I check the Mego Museum...after a cup of tea, of course.

                  usually here between 6 to 7 pm unless it's soccer coaching then I'm outta here at 5:30

                  Coach from 6-7:30 pm on soccer nights, come home eat dinner, clean the kitchen, spend some time with the kids, catch one show and off to bed between 10-11 pm.
