My routine revolves around my laptop. Most times, I can go places with my parents and not worry about being in front of it all of the time. So, I do get out as often as I can to get fresh air and such. However, if i go to a hotel or I go to sleep at night or even just going in the living room, my laptop goes with me. I simply cannot breathe without my laptop. If I don't have internet or wifi, this can also be a real problem for me as well. Just ask my parents. The second my internet goes off, I'm screaming at them to fix it. XD

I also have a bedtime routine. This routine includes my laptop being on, my TV being on Boomerang, my plushies all on my bed with a few I sleep with (Death the Kid, Jessamine the Espeon and my Grumpy Cat plush as of recent), my fan has to be on high as well. I do have a few lighter routines, but usually when it comes to my day routine, I can switch between playing my PS Vita, writing stories on my iPad and playing my 3DS throughout the entire day. I don't do it in any particular order or anything. I pretty much do them when I feel doing it.

So, what are your routines that have to be done no matter what? I'm not talking about little ones. I mean ones that you simply cannot let go of even for a split second without uncontrollable sobbing and constant melting down.

I HAVE to be able to sit down, surf the internet, and check on my forums, otherwise I go nuts. I often spend entire days surfing and posting on forums, so being pulled away from my PC for too long is a huge disruption for me.

Have coffee, good scents like from candles, set the car's trip odometer on 0 each day and go on the internet. They may be small things but I always do them. Even when my home flooded and everything was disrupted, I still did these things.
