Note: The below account is entirely fictional and does not in any way reflect what I may or may not have done at any time, including this morning, even if it sounds like it’s possible, remember it’s totally fictional. Fictional.

• Good morning! Grasp coffee cup with both hands, staring beatifically out of the window. It’s Monday. Let’s get to it!
• Oops! Gotta eat! Breakfast!
• Check twitter.
• Clean new electric kettle by boiling water. Huh. It needs a trivet.
• Shop online for trivets.
• Buy coasters.
• Read trivet reviews closely. Scrutinize colors. Can it open a jar? Suddenly absolutely, positively need silicone trivets that can open jars.
• Finally select trivets. Success!
• Change mind, choose other trivets.
• Look out window. Onward!
• Check twitter.
• Computer slow. Must reboot. Maybe run a check.
• Shut down.
• Screen is dirty. Clean screen.
• Reboot.
• Run scan.
• Look out window. Can’t go onward. Must have computer to write.
• Also must have computer to blog.
• Also must have computer to edit.
• Also must have computer to twitter.
• Check twitter on phone.
• Still scanning.
• Pace. Every bit of exercise counts, right?
• Still scanning
• Inspiration! Remember the ancient method of writing with pen and paper.
• Scratch out blog post.
• Still scanning.
• Take kettle for a test drive.
• Scanning finished! Look at handwritten post. Remember why use computer to write everything.
• Oops! Kettle’s ready. Make tea.
• Clean out silicone Mana-Tea which also may or may not be fictional (it’s not. It’s adorable).
• Glance out window grasping mug of tea with both hands. Onward?
• Check twitter.
