She turns on the Keurig to heat up while she has her morning pill and the required water with it. It is for her thyroid, so it is a necessary evil. She surfs the internet for a few minutes, looking for news and checking her blog stats.
She has her shower. She yells at the radio when they play a song she doesn’t like. Then she mutters under her breath while trying to wake up, in the shower, because the radio is now playing a slow song. When they finally play a song she likes, she remembers the rule, if you are going to dance in the shower, your feet can’t move. She sings along and starts to cheer up.
It is time to turn off the water. She turns up the heat first. She closes her eyes then counts to ten. Deep breath in, hold it, then release. She turns off the water with a sigh. Time to face another day.
