One thing, though, you should pay attention to. When you get out of the bed (la levé du corps), start with the right foot. That's already in Latin literature.

hm, i usually put both feet on the floor at the same time, is that a problem ? maybe the left foot touches first sometimes since i always get out of the left side of the bed... i'm not usually awake enough to pay attention at the time.

that's a lovely tradition ! i like that. my grandmother is an excellent gardener and she is always exchanging clippings with friends to start new plants. i guess she must never say thank you because i don't think a single one of her plants has ever died.
