It's a Late Day

Tweet

What happens when you wake up late? Everything else gets behind, like a domino effect. I woke at 3:19 AM, one hour later than I normally wake up. Now, most of you are still happily in dreamland. However, when I wake up late, it pushes everything behind. My morning routine was curtailed so I could get out of the apartment on time. Only I wasn't on time. I was 20 Minutes late leaving for the pool this morning. To my credit, I still got to the pool by 5 AM. I arrived right on the dot. I found when I got there, I wasn't the only one having a late day. My friend was later than I was, so was another swimmer. Another swimmer didn't make it today. It was still a full pool with six people, one in each of the lanes. No overcrowding today. Because arriving late and getting in the pool later than I like, also meant I stayed in the pool longer. Five minutes longer in the pool. Now, five minutes might not amount to much, but when you add on five minutes to everything else in your day, you can see how behind you really are. All because you got up late. I needed to do a small grocery shopping this morning. Not like my normal weekly shopping because that refund I mentioned yesterday, won't be here until early next month. They are mailing it on the 27th. So, I'll have a little extra for food next month. To my credit, I didn't need much and was able to use my food share card and still have a couple of dollars left on it for next month. Okay, if you're following this timeline, I left the YWCA for the store at a decent time. I hurried with the shower and getting dressed. I made up some time, the time I needed in the store. I arrived home, took care of some things on the Internet, fixed my breakfast currently in the oven, and am here to interact with you for the next few hours. It's going on 10 AM. I'm usually on the computer by 7:30 AM after swimming. It's a late day. Now to get at the 136 notifications you sent me since I logged off yesterday to work on a book, which was two books, but who's counting? While I work, I'll be waiting, listening for the microwave timer, and expecting the tantalizing aroma of my egg bake. Today's egg bake has 3 small potatoes, mushrooms, half an onion, and a tomato along with 9 eggs. It should be ready in half an hour. I might even indulge in a cup of tea while I wait. I've already had 3 bananas. I know, I usually only have two in the morning, but I was hungry. I had a late morning and my stomach was demanding. How is your day stacking up? Was it good, if you're already at the end of your day? Or are you slow to get started like I was this morning? I hope you have a great day. Thanks for reading. The picture is a previous egg bake.
