Everything and nothing

Morning and I've just made myself comfortable on the couch after a whirlwind morning routine.

The first forty minutes after waking up, no matter the time and on weekends I try to sleep till 8 after which the cats make it impossible because they're hungry, I am stuck with a variety of chores that simply cannot be ignored.

The dishes from the night before that stay drying in the dish basket need to be arranged without fail and every morning I'm amazed at the amount of dishes that got used up.
Like how much did we eat and how much did I cook?
After the arranging it's the litter cleaning and throwing out of trash which again baffles me. A big bowl full of organic trash gets accumulated through the day that is donated to a composting pile along with miscellaneous garbage which I simply cannot understand how I end up collecting.

Then it's the usual quick sweeping, followed by making of the beds, cleaning the beddings and sheets and pillows with a lint roller and finally it's on with the washing machine.
Sometimes, like today, I fished out clothes from the drier after almost a day and a half because I'd forgotten all about it.
These things happen.

And now finally, I sit with a mug of lemon water of which I will have copious amounts while the cats play wrestle and scatter their fine fur all over my floors, rendering my morning exercise of cleaning everything relatively moot, but that's how it is. I end up cleaning the house several times a day.

As I typed, I downed almost three mugs of warm water and now its tea time after a banana.
Tea. Yes. My daily manna.
I need it so.

The agenda for today ain't decided yet but it's a lovely blue sky day which can get overcast any moment now but I feel like a very long languorous walk while checking out small shops by the roadside is exactly what today ordered.

Maybe I'll buy some flowers, maybe I'll chomp down a couple street-side snacks, maybe I'll have a glass of grass jelly tea.
Full of possibilities..just how I like it.
