mastery of the world

[sergebroom]

Should you wish to begin your day feeling that you have some control over your life, I recommend the following:

(1) wash pots and dishes that had been stacked on the kitchen counter for a couple of days.
(2) fold laundry.
(3) water a large 2-tiered flowerbed in the dark while trying not to fall off the narrow ledge into either flower patch.
(4) re-read portions of a friend's soon-to-be-published novel.

Mind you, it's better not to attempt more than one of the above at the same time.

To do any of these would require that I already have enough control over my life to:

(0) get up early enough to do anything before work other than dressing hurriedly and scrounging some breakfast.

I'm such an early bird that I don't have to hurry to do any of those things before heading to work. Except for breakfast. I never eat until I'm at the office because I'm not hungry until then even after I've gone to the gym for a workout.
