Ramble - OCD

It's very obvious to my friends that I am OCD about things... lists, organization, and routine... I love routine... like, a scheduled routine.

My morning usually consists of waking up around 6am, getting up around 6:30am (lol) and taking a shower.  Then I go and find myself some breakfast, make my lunch, (lately) make myself something hot to drink, then sit in front of the laptop and eat, drink my hot beverage, and net surf until about 7:15am.  Then I put my coat on, go outside, start the car, clean it off (in the wintertime) and go to work.  Occasionally I will stop at the convenience store in order to purchase lotto tickets as I am the person in charge of it at work.  Rhem rarely breaks my routine because he's a lazy bum and sleeps until after I go to work (and probably straight up to about 20 min before he has to be at work himself lol).

This morning my routine was broken.  My roommate, Deadcell, was in the washroom from about 6am-6:45am.  Now, my routine never switches up.  I just can't muster myself to do it... so I lay in bed until about 6:40 and then get up and go to the laptop... he eventually gets out of the washroom and I go take my shower and then have breakfast and am back at the laptop to eat it... however, I feel out of sync... because my routine's been broken...  I didn't make lunch because I now don't have time for making lunch...  I barely have time to eat breakfast and I'm taking bites between typing... ugh.

How do you handle your morning routine?  What happens when yours is 'broken'?
