hi youtube welcome to our morning routine
exciting news hannah and i have been working behind the scenes for the last few months to create brand
new content about our relationship and living with sma we've teamed up with genentech for the
sma myway program creating articles and videos that will live on smamyway.com along with other
entertaining content from additional creators who are impacted by sma we just had our first
article published which focuses on the challenges we faced in finding an accessible home we love our
house but there were many considerations that we needed to be mindful of in the house hunting stage
in this article we share some of the tips that we learned during the process of buying
our first home together you can read it now at the link in the description below
H: are you... S: who’s idea was it to make a stupid stupid morning routine video
H: I think it was your idea. are you excited? S: i'm naked.
H: you're also... this is weird. every morning shane wakes up on his left side facing this way and
i mean that's most mornings last night he rolled onto his other side in the
middle of the night so now this is like a weird morning routine where it's not
quite normal i need to put underwear on you
all right first part of our morning routine is i typically pee
as soon as i wake up and then i go make the coffee
H: so this is our little like coffee and tea bar we didn't have these shelves before so
we just added those and that's been really useful because we ran out of room for all of our mugs so
now we have a special mug spot all right hi are you awake now? (more awake) yeah you look perky
you're right ready to go shane looks like just a lump in the blankets right now but first he has to
pee so i guess we'll do that privately and then (S: we can show them my pee jar!) sure i'll go get the pee jar.
got it here she is this is shane's beautiful red pee jar that he pees into
um which we will do now off camera okay we're back now shane will get dressed
yes i typically ask him if he wants to wear sweatpants or real pants he decides
like jeans or khakis and then he picks that and then i pick within that category we don't go any
deeper into the category than that (S: because i very rarely have an opinion) yeah i'll sometimes hold up two
and shane will refuse to pick he'll say either so some pants or real pants pants real pants
today and a t-shirt it's always a t-shirt i try to get a long sleeve it never works
okay i have terrible news you have your skinny jeans you have no tight boxers left oh no
so you have to wear baggy boxers and skinny jeans that's the worst news ever i know i'm
sorry (S: it's gonna be a ruffly day boys) today is laundry day we've let it go to the very last
minute tonight it has to get done we sleep naked by the way but you're not getting any of that
right now hannah is sliding the boxes up above my rear yeah you can narrate exactly what i'm doing
now she's pulling them down to smooth them out good luck getting these over them with
these baggy boxers we are at almost zero chance of making it through this without
a slip no slips no slips please so the next step of our day is i just help shane put his clothes on
our morning routine is not very involved no it's not except when I wear big boxers and small pants
this is like your sock issue yeah i don't like this either
i've got them in. can you reach down and pull them down. making me feel a little confined
yeah that'll be the thumbnail right there with your hand all the way down my pants
okay
good yeah all right now deodorant shane's deodorant is old spice aqua reef
in case anyone wants to know what shane smells like it's that always has been
all right next shane puts on his shoes in bed just because it's easier
i find it easier to put them on here than i do in his chair
my toes bend as hannah puts them in just his big toe i have to repeatedly push it
straight so it doesn't snag or so it doesn't snap off snap off like a thin little tree branch
uh-huh all right shoes are on we're flying through this i know ready for our
day next i prepare shane's chair for him so overnight it's been charging so i'll unplug it
and unplug the mount that moves his joystick then i will turn on the jaco arm
move it out of the way and it's ready now i lift shane out of bed carry him over here
and place him in the wheelchair and place him in the wheelchair now i'm in the shade they know and love
didn't recognize you until you're in your chair okay
all right coffee time actually it's chloe time oh yeah i forgot about the dog
jaco in. her pile of toys on the side of her crate can you tell she's spoiled
good morning hi chloe did you sleep well
oh my gosh are you ready to get up yeah okay oh here she comes
what are you doing in our home?
good girl are you going outside oh my gosh
sleepy
all right so now shane while chloe's outside will get set up at his computer where he will work for most of the day yeah i typically begin my day with coffee and answering emails
some of you might chastise me for not brushing my teeth before i have my coffee i think it
makes more sense this way i get my teeth dirty and then i wash them so i brush my teeth later
um after i relax for a half hour yep okay finally are you back good morning
hello again hello again oh my goodness are you ready for morning treat yeah
okay are you excited we'll put it on chloe view so chloe takes an allergy pill every
day which we call morning treat she's very well aware of what morning treat is she's
very excited we put it in a slice of american cheese or half a slice good girl all done okay
okay now it's time for shane's morning treat which is coffee
and now i typically pop the tea water back on so that it reboils and it's hot for when i make
my tea in a minute thank you thank you morning treat for you while the tea water's reboiling
let's see where chloe is on her morning routine in our freshly unmade bed she likes to groom
herself there hi chloe hi are you waking up hi are you waking up oh my god oh my gosh
it's your favorite pillow yeah oh my god oh my god it's favorite pillow
it's favorite pillow chloe's favorite pillow is the one that shane sleeps with between his
legs so i'm not sure what that says about her but it's pretty gross it's pretty gross
right right
time for tea
so now i'll do like my uh teeth and my face that whole routine while shane drinks coffee
and then when he's ready he'll do his teeth and face first i remove the makeup from my
face which i definitely should do at night but i almost never do so i do this in the morning
okay i'm done are you ready shane yes okay i had my coffee caffeine is now coursing through my veins
i can conquer anything now it's time to brush my teeth now it's going to look like we use the same
toothbrush but we switched the heads so don't be alarmed that would be a great plot twist
everyone watching is like they're using the same toothbrush oh my god what do we do someone tell
them since we do use the same body of the brush i just switched the heads i'm always nervous that
we're gonna forget one these days i once began brushing my teeth with the head of yours i almost died
so now shane can't actually get into our bathroom which is why we're doing this in the hallway
and he certainly cannot access our sink so
he will drink this water and then spit into this cup and then i'll dump it in the sink but
we won't show you that they don't make you watch that now i'm gonna wash my face
because today is not a shower day as we said in our shower video which i'll put up here somewhere
uh i only shower like every three or four days in the winter in the summer when i swim more
yeah it has shower more often but on days i don't shower i wash my face just to keep my
my little smiler nice and clean and happy all right i have a washcloth make it extra hot please
says you every single time i like to wash my face with
scalding hot water oh my hair is doing a little peacock i know we're gonna have to brush that next
i feel like your eyes are the main target of this face washing yeah
i was rolling around in mud yesterday so i have to get all that off the eyelash
now some lotion i hate putting on lotion and hannah encourages me maybe forces me to put it on
every day because otherwise then your skin peels off and you get upset about it and you're like
why is my skin falling off i begrudgingly accept that it does make my skin nicer but i think that's
stupid i don't i don't you go back and forth after you've put on the lotion you're like wow
that actually really helped and then a couple days later you've forgotten already
the concept it's dry yeah it's all about weakness you know nope if i can just learn to
not not mind dry scratchy skin
don't give them that look it really is i think the single biggest waste of time of the day
there's no time when i am less productive than what i'm putting on productivity is not the point
right now shane it's not always the point and then your face sticks like if if there were feathers in
the air they'd be sticking in there luckily we don't live well there are feathers in the air
so that is a null point if i had a chicken coop i'd be done for i'm just admiring myself in the camera
nice there's a bunch of your hair in there i know we also share and what's that called brush a brush
i confuse comb and brush still haven't learned those two
still haven't learned them you'll get there um yeah i love having my
hair brushed though it feels very good harder shane oh it's all messed up in the
back luckily no one will see that today because i slept in my back last night sure
ah look at my hair i'm like puffin up up there i look like elvis
and that concludes at least the majority of my morning routine i think that's the whole
thing for both of us now i'm not really dressed but since we're not leaving the house for the
foreseeable future i'm not planning on getting dressed we have a speaking engagement today yeah
we have to edit this video yep we have a phone call at two mm-hmm and one at 10 30. one at 10 30.
lots to do yeah all right that's how we do it yeah now we'll just sit down and get to work that was
our morning routine and we'll eat this somewhere along the way but that it's not really an event
for us to just grab whatever we have and eat it while we're working so yeah exactly all
right thanks for joining us have a fantastic rest of your day what's your morning routine
bye
