I usually wake up before my alarm, then walk right to the Keurig and make myself a cup of coffee. I don’t make a pot because I am the only one here who drinks coffee, so we have the Keurig.

While I wait for that to brew, I go pee.

Then I grab my coffee and sit down in my comfy chair and turn on the TV so I can watch the news.

Then I write in my journal, post it here, then answer these daily prompts.

After that if I have some time I write more of the story I’m working on, then at 7 am it’s time to work.
