Everybody's workin' for the week end.

I wake up around 6:45 to the alarm clock on my phone. Usually it only takes the one time, but once in a while I let it go to 7, but then it's awake awake awake. I take a shower, wash my face. I hum "You are my sunshine" as I brush my teeth. I put my lunch together. It's an apple, a yogurt, a boca burger, and a granola bar. I grab my helmet and then it's off to work. Up the first hill down Old Bainbridge, through midtown until I reach my coffee shop. I get an espresso and up until recently, a morning glory muffin. I sit and read the paper. I do the crossword. I watch the people. I get back on the bike and finish the journey to the kitchen. It's 8:15. I clock in, put my apron on, and turn the radio to the oldies station. D brews the coffee, I get my list out and check off what needs to be done. I measure the flour, the butter, the salt, the baking soda, the butter milk, and voila! Biscuit dough. I go through my day baking off chocolate cakes or bread puddings. I spin sugar and roll tuilles. I listen to the Righteous Brothers and sing out loud. Status Saturn of Tallahassee comes on with their commercial and D and I both make fun of it. Last time I checked, when I make that million dollar deposit, I won't be buying a Vue. It always ends with "333 look at me" and giggling. Jim Ode comes in with his mushrooms (legal kind) and his grateful dead t-shirt. Crescent moon farms brings in some basil and heirloom tomatoes. I finish up and clean my station. My lunch is there, along with a magazine and a bar stool. The library is next. Then the swimming pool where I race whoever is next to me in a new and twisted version of "Treadmill Racing!!!" Please note that whoever is in the next lane, they have no idea that I am racing them and it comes as a suprise whenever they get out of the water and I have a look of victory on my face. I bike back home, maybe make dinner, maybe employ the microwave. I watch a movie with the directors commentary on or go out with some friends. I'm in bed by 11. Asleep by 11:20. And then it's 6:45.
