 Ruth’s routine
When I go to bed, I usually brush my teeth at 8:00 o’clock after dinner, but sometimes I
forget it and then I have to get up in the middle of the night to do so. Occasionally, when
I'm too lazy, I set up an alarm just for that. On the other hand, there is one thing I'll never
be able to do, and it is washing my face before bed, because that always wakes me up. In
the morning, I always wake up and immediately and take a shower, I usually put on shorts
and a t-shirt, sometimes I wear a formal dress when I have to go to work. I often have eggs
for breakfast, but always I must drink a delicious coffee.
