A Revelation Over Cereal [Realization challenge]

The alarm clock went off.
crap. it’s too early! I think.

I drag myself down the hall to the bathroom. I turn on the blinding light and squint and blink.
Why do the bathroom lights have to be the brightest? It’s such a cruel way to wake up.

I turn on the shower and slowly my numb limbs begin to function and the routine of hygiene awakens me. My stomach rumbles to life. I dress for work.

I stumble into the kitchen, feigning a tiredness I had just washed down the drain, and pour a bowl of cereal with milk.

I begin to wonder why I don’t hear the sounds of others getting up. Usually, the Patterson’s dog next door had spotted the Morris’s cat by now and would have barked himself into a frenzy. Not to mention the activity from the humans in my own house.

I switch on the morning news. And tomorrow’s high will be 75, with a 50% chance of showers. So today looks like best day for working outdoors. It will be a beautiful start to your weekend.

Wait. Weekend? Crap. It’s Saturday! I’m going back to bed!

    It’s not very deep. Kind of run of the mill, everyday. Oh well.

    That made me laugh out loud. Seriously, great entry. I love how the thoughts build up, and then eventually…Saturday! It’s one of those smack – yourself – on – the – forehead moments.

    I loved it.

    That happened to me once before as well. Needless to say, I was less than pleased to be awake.
