Groan. Dark. Cold. Alarm snoozed. Snoozing…zzzzz
Groan. Still dark. Still cold. Alarm silenced. Awake enough. Shuffle to bathroom. Start shower, warm water.
Warm steamy bathroom, open door, Gah! Cold!
Get dressed fast! Suits are not built for warmth!
Make way to kitchen, fragrant with fresh brewed coffee. The glow of dawn refracted through icy window. Hot coffee and daylight begin to thaw the brain.
Turn on NPR and listen to whatever is on - anything to break the stillness. Coffee, radio, thoughts. The day begins.
Check the watch; three minutes before the bus.
It’s Monday. Friday is too far away.
