Sick Morning Addiction...

Every morning when I wake up I drop to my knees and say a prayer for the day. Then I head into the restroom to take care of normal morning rituals. After that I go into my office and begin what I call my Sick Morning Addiction. I check my emails and reply to any clients, sending them properties and reports if needs be. Then I log onto http://www.shopbop.com/ to check out the new styles for the day. The I log onto http://www.perezhilton.com/ to see what the new celebrity and political gossip is for the last 24 hours. Then I am off to the good ole http://www.myspace.com/ to see what my friends and family are up to. After that I return to my emails to see if anything new has popped up (by that time I usually have about 15 property searches to review). Then I go through my act software to see what new clients I have for the day and send them emails before I call them a couple of hours later. Then I hit up perezhilton again to see about 10 more gossip columns. Then I get back on my email to make sure that all of my previous emails were sent to good email addresses and didn't bounce back with a failure message.
I am sick!!! I am addicted to the computer in the mornings. I literally have to peal myself out of the chair to go make breakfast for my husband and play with my dog. I am removing my chair today and replacing it with a workout stability ball so I don't get so comfortable and just sit for an hour wasting precious time. I am serious. If I don't get my morning computer hour I feel incomplete the whole day... It's time things change.
I am going to try to wake up every morning, pray, do the restroom rituals, and then go hit the canal and run for an hour instead of sitting at the computer. This way if I happen to get lost in cyberspace, I will have already worked out. When I work out the last thing I want to do is sit at a computer. I will just do my work and get on with my day.
Sorry this is so borring. Notice that I am still on the computer. I can't get off of it!!! AHHHHH!

I totally have a certain number of sites I have to see too...it's funny to me how much I use the computer...even when I don't have any "work" to do.
