The (1-day and counting!) Routine

9:00 am: Wake up

9:02 am: Hit bathroom

9:06 am: Turn on Wii, weigh self on balance board, grumble

9:10 am: Go to kitchen, take pill 1 of 7, stare longingly at cupboard, but do not eat anything because 1/2 hour wait post-pill required

9:13 am: Go to bookshelf, find Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on cd, bring to living room, pop disc one into dvd player and press play

9:14 am: Turn on treadmill, tilt head in confusion when treadmill just sits there in stony silence, realize treadmill not plugged in, plug in treadmill, hit head on treadmill when it beeps and startles, curse at treadmill

9:16 am: Walk back over to dvd player to figure out why disc is not playing, press button two on switch box

9:17 am: Grab remotes, turn up volume on tv

9:17:30 am: Frantically jab at volume down button because volume up button is stuck and do not want to scare neighbor lady into thinking the building is under cinematic British attack

9:18 am: Get on treadmill, press start and begin walk

9:19 am: Realize 'walk' may be more of a 'shuffle' and increase speed to 'stroll'

9:37 am: Enjoy chapter one of book one and pat self on back for finding such an excellent distraction

9:42 am: Get off treadmill

9:43 am: Text husband about day's accomplishments without acknowledging the irony of having been up only 43 minutes

9:44 am: Head back into kitchen, lightly toast up 1/2 a bagel with 1/2 a serving of cream cheese for a total of 270 mg of sodium and 180 calories

9:49 am: Contemplate other half of bagel, ultimately resist

9:50 am: Take remaining 6 pills, call self 'old-woman' and crouch-walk with pretend cane to the fridge to amuse self

9:50:30 am: Feel a little guilty/silly, attempt to stand upright, grimace as back cracks

9:55 am: Call LTD claims adjuster and leave a voicemail inquiring as to the status of paperwork and whether or not she got the fax

9:58 am: Turn on computer with intentions of finishing LTD post started many days ago

10:01 am: Decide some background noise is needed

10:02 am: Go to theWB.com, click on Gilmore girls pilot

10:48 am: Realize never signed into Blogger
