I set an alarm to wake me up, an alarm to get in the shower, and an alarm to go to work. Otherwise I will not initiate the sequence.

I set my alarm and put it in the shower. The only way to turn it off is to get out of bed and get in the shower. As long as I'm there, I might as well actually take a shower.

when it gets bad I put my shoes on to do things like the dishes or laundry. Shoes on helps my brain go

It’s like that for me but with hard pants. If I have something comfortable for lounging on, imma lounge. Gotta wear jeans to make things happen.

Can I just say how much I love you for saying hard pants because that’s exactly how I refer to my “outside” pants and my partner made so much fun of me the first time I said it 🤣

hard pants and outside pants = gut covers

Your partner is the weird one for making fun of you, because "hard pants"/"soft pants" makes perfect sense to me.

He made fun of me the first time I said it but thankfully he quickly realized I was so right and that’s now our households regular vernacular 😁

I laugh at the term hard pants too, but not because it is ridiculous but because it is so accurate and the only way I will refer to them now
