Ran into the aforementioned colleague who sparked this whole daily routine thing today, and she said, "you're taking editorial liberties with all that, right?" I assured her, no, this IS my life!! She then said, "please tell me you don't have Red Bull for breakfast?" LOL. Yes i really do!
Ok, my morning today:
- woke up about 5:30, slept well, but fatigued
- ponder the morning, and the knowledge that i do have a red bull in the fridge, but nothing for breakfast
- went outside for a smoke and thought about my day... really hoping to pull off a 4 day long weekend, so there is much to do to pull that off
- figure I might as well stay up and go in early and get at it
- tune to MSNBC for Morning Joe
- take prescriptions, pleased i hadn't forgotten once this week
- look to my right - it's a Panago box - ah yes!! I'd ordered pizza last night and ordered some of those sweet breadsticks that you dip in icing (how evil) - yes!!
- nuke the box, grab my red bull, and slip into my easy chair and pick up my laptop
- put the laptop down when i start dipping the breadsticks in icing
- wait for the "what we learned today" segment on Morning Joe, then turn to CBC Newsworld at 6
- ah, yes, Obama day! it's a camera on Air Force one in DC waiting for Obama to arrive by helicopter to get on and head our way
- log into work email and catch up
- check my calendar and remember i have a 9:00 coffee meeting
- there's Obama boarding Air Force One
- start twittering, and find it very easy to NOT get going, yesterday was a rough day, so figure it's good for me to chill
- decide that it is also a taxi day - on plastic
- manage to pass 2 hours, doing what, i cannot recall, but at some point decided to hang out til Obama lands
- at some point, another smoke
- gave twitter a play by play from a Canadian's perspective
- VERY cool to see the photo op of the first Black American President and the first Female Black Governor General -- and they weren't stiff and all that shit, they were genuinely laughing and smiling - VERY cool
- ok, it's 7:50, I guess I'd better get going
- out for a smoke
- quick shower
- as i dress, i pick my nice yellow t-shirt with the 3/4 length sleeves that I bought in NYC -- the fabric is soft and i want to wear it, it feels like a caress on my skin and somehow comforts me and balances out how vulnerable i felt at the end of yesterday
- 8:10, I've cut that kind of close, i'd better go
- log back into email and send a message or two, and pick up the phone numbers of the person i'm meeting, in case i am late
- doddle and leave about 8:20, oops
- flag a cab and off I go
- doodle
- all well until we end up behind an accident on Kingsway, looks like time to chill
- call my meeting to let them know i'm late
- doodle
- pull up at the office at 9:10
