of a minister on sabbatical:
0745: stumble out of bed with no clue what time it is, since sunrise today won't be until after 10 a.m.
0755: make coffee, stare numbly at the pot while wondering what's taking so long.
0810: fix three cups of joe, handing one each to wife and daughter*, and sitting down with mine. Check weather forecast (temps around freezing, with snow showers).
0830: Refill cups for wife & me while daughter stares at hers. Remind daughter that the coffee won't help until administered internally.
0845: Mourn because the coffee's gone, while debating whether to make more.**
0900: Breakfast, brush teeth, comb hair and shave.
1000: Check tire pressure & coolant level in truck; add a splash of antifreeze and drive to gas station for air.
1015: Put empty boxes from garage in back of truck for off-site disposal. Turn wife's car around so the block heater can be plugged in.
1030: hang fluorescent light fixture in garage, tripling lighting levels therein.
1045: finish hanging the light; retrieve wife & daughter so they can admire my handiwork.
1100: put away ladder and flashlight, clean up.
1110: write blog post about it.
And you thought this was all glitz and glamor!
* Note I didn't specify which daughter, so no tender feelings get all grumpified.
** Put off second pot until after lunch.
