Is a drive to work part of daily preparations?  Because raw this would coincide with daily preparations, which occur after a long rest, but before adventuring  

So is the drive to the donut shop to meet the party before an adventure part of daily preparations? Or does stumbling down the stairs of the inn to start plans with the party, while eating breakfast, post rest and therefore an exploration activity?  If you roll initiative to see who gets breakfast first, does that interrupt the rest period?

"If enough people homebrew something a certain way, then it gets picked up in the next iteration."

Thats all im trying to do here.
