• Animal husbandry
  
• feed and water the fats and birds
• water snakes if necessary, spray snake cages daily
• snake poop check, scoop if necessary
• ask self: "Does the fats' cage need cleaning today?" If yes, add to TDL
• 5 minutes or so at your altar, longer if you want. Ground and center yourself, and reaffirm to yourself daily your desire, commitment, and passion for your position. Find your focus for the day, and find a positive attitude. It is ok to come to me for support in this.
• CHECK-IN #1- 1 PM
  
• Daily Morning Kitchen Routine

• CHECK-IN #2- We will look at/add to/rearrange/prioritize your TDL. This is the time to make me aware if you aren't feeling capable of handling items on your TDL. I will make reasonable and fair adjustments as I find necessary after speaking with you about the specifics of the day's variables.

• Make any remaining blog posts for the day. Email, IM w/permission.
• Feed snakes if it's snake feeding night, rat cage if necessary.
• Midnight dinner for us monkeys as needed, drink water some more.
  
• Floor time, horizontal time, bedtime
  

Of course, all of this structure has been built to be flexible, and I will be fair in assessing daily what I think you can handle, and what I think you can at least handle trying. Be honest with yourself and with me about how you feel and your pain and energy levels, and I will be reasonable in return. And of course, appointments and special nights out will require schedule adjustments, which we will work out. If you should ever feel that something about this schedule should be changed, or if you would like something added to the schedule, just ask, and we can talk about it.

Good boy. 8=8
