TwinLolly Hope you got the chance to see the lovely Art Deco buildings.
My thoughts differ according to what's happening in my life but always I begin the day by drinking at least 300ml of water and listening to the birds getting up one by one.
I fill the 750ml water bottle on the way to bed each evening, drink some during the night and finish it every morning.
Not long after that, I go for a wee but back to bed to think.
I never, ever check the weather, or even care about it unless we're in the middle of winter when I reach out from under the cosy duvet and switch on the heater prior to getting up!
I lie a long time thinking usually, planning the day. If it's a day when I am going out, I make a mental list: Library (what books are due back?), vegie shop (do I need spuds?), post office (last day for posting to UK?), $2 shop (wrapping paper and one of those bungy things).
If not, it's household tasks: making shortbread; laundry, getting stuff out of the freezer for lunch and/or tea.
What do I need to order online and when? I sometimes make notes in a book I keep in the bedside cabinet because I have a memory like a colander.
Far too often I lie worrying about things which have upset me and about which I can (usually) do nothing.
If I'm going out, I'll have a shower and wash my hair. If not, and no one is due to come here, I'll make do with a good all-over wash and leave the shower and hair for the next day lazy beggar.
Then up about 6 or before sometimes depending on how I feel. A decaf coffee or Rooibos tea, switch on my PC whilst the jug is boiling and check the emails as I drink the beverage. Thus starteth my days.
