I'm not really OCD about anything (I think!). It can be a curse.
Night time - I turn the TV off at the wall, brush my teeth, take meds & make sure the heating's turned down. I usually drop off to sleep quickly.
Everything in the dishwasher, dogs out for their ablutions, check I've got bread out for breakfast, check keys are out of door to garage, plug phone in to charge, alarm on. Wake at 3 because either a cat, fox, squirrel or other critter keeps switching the outside lights on, or, a spider has built a web across a camera again and phone keeps alerting us.
