I play my cello and then get ready for bed around 5-6am. So I'm actually winding down my day just in time for sunrise :)

5am fix bugs, make scripts, write down more bugs on post-it notes, have cup of earl d'grey tea, perhaps cheese on toast, jack it all in for the day and watch cartoons, go to bed to avoid majority of the accursed daystar. Hope to dream about cat-chick, end up dreaming about algorithms to fix bugs.

Swear at the computer cause you can't get your cookie in Code Igniter working. Continue swearing because you have been at it since 1:30am. Finally go take a nap at 7am ish and get up at 11am. Go work a full day and come back to swear at CI again.
