Today, A Day Just Like Any Other Day

Minutes melt into each other, blending until they become hours, passing until days fall unnoticed from the calendar and she has no idea if it's Tuesday or Saturday and she doesn't care because one day is just like the next.

On this day she wakes up late and still feels tired so she makes strong coffee and eats a piece of toast and feeds the cats and brushes her teeth and listens to the radio and checks her email and wonder what she is going to do.
