¶ … Life
My morning ritual begins at 7:30 A.M. when I wake up, wash my face, apply fresh make-up, fix my hair, put my clothes on and let the dogs out. This is a weekday ritual that I have performed everyday, except Saturday and Sunday, for seventeen years. I know that it takes me exactly twenty minutes to get myself ready for work.
At 7:50 A.M., I woke up my 4-year-old grandson and dressed him for Daycare, then I gave him his vitamins and fed him his breakfast, which consisted of an apple and apple juice. When he has finished eating, he goes to the restroom.
At 8:20 A.M., I let the dogs back into the house and two minutes later my grandson and I walked outside, picked up the newspaper, and headed for Daycare. We arrived at 8:30 A.M. And after goodbyes, I leave the Daycare and stopped at the Shell station for gas. By 8:35 A.M. I was headed to work.
Exactly 30 minutes later, at 9:05 A.M., I have arrived at work. From the time I walk in until 11:30 A.M. I worked on a spreadsheet presentation for a 3:00 P.M. meeting with a very important client.
From 11:30 A.M. To 1:15 P.M., I had lunch with my sister and as usual we spent the entire time engaged in meaningless conversation. Then from 1:15 P.M. To 4:50, I completed the spreadsheet and prepared presentation folders. After 3:00 P.M., I answered emails and returned phone calls. I always try to leave the office everyday by 4:50 P.M. so I will beat some of the rush hour traffic, and today was no exception.
I arrived at the Daycare at 5:35 P.M. To pick up my grandson, and because he has started a two-week swim class, I changed him into his bathing suit before we left Daycare because his lessons begin at 5:50 P.M. We arrived at the Recreation Pool at 5:45 P.M. And from 5:50 P.M. until 6:30 P.M. I watched him take his swimming lessons....
