morning routine
i have a routine:
a) get up, stumble, check my e-mail. read the stupid messages first, the good one's last, and avoid those from faculty for 2 hours.
b) make coffee. that is, microwave milk, add instant coffee and sugar, and stumble back to my e-mail.
c) finish reading. check dland. check nytimes and cnn. recheck e-mail to make sure no one has written to me.
d) get up, make a piece of toast, or something, and return, once again, to the glowing computer screen.
e) get up, get socks, or more food, or more coffee, or a sweater, or turn on the heat, or open the window, and sit back down, disappointed that there are no new e-mails.
f) after at LEAST 30 minutes have gone by, i can try and work. but earlier, nuh-uh.
