Wake up.
Turn on coffee pot.
Boot up computer. Check email. Check Facebook. Check every web comic I've ever been interested in, and all of their suggested links.
Get coffee. Drink coffee. Contemplate eating something; internal deliberation will result in skipping meal entirely. Finish coffee.
Take shower. Dry off. Notice that the bathroom needs a good scrub; begin doing so. Fight cleaning in severe humidity. Decide to resume cleaning when bathroom temperature has matched that of the rest of the house.
Enter closet. Deliberate over wardrobe. Intend not to wear black. Rummage through clothing. Rummage. Rummage. Select ironic black shirt. Dress. Finish daily hygiene regimen.
Return to computer. Check Facebook. Check email. Update Goodreads account.
Work on PowerPoint outline to be used in memorial service for no more than 10 minutes. Follow with 30 minute bout of tears, no less than 12 tissues, and three squares of chocolate. Return to Facebook. Shortly thereafter, purge stomach of contents in bathroom trash can.
Retire to living room couch. Curl up under blanket and attempt to sleep. Procure long-time favorite movie. Play film. Repeat attempts at sleep.
Rise with intent to be somewhat productive. Wander through house looking for something to do. Begin sweeping floors. When finished sweeping bedroom, rearrange bedroom. When finished rearranging, put everything back where it was. Sweep bedroom again.
Lay out clothes for following day. Lay out clothes for remainder of week. Start laundry. Forget about laundry. Clean 2 pairs of sneakers. Polish boots. Reorganize contents of dresser.
Return to computer. Check Facebook. Rediscover mindless game; level up twice. Play different, equally mindless game. Check email.
Return to couch. Attempt sleep. Repeat. When attempts for sleep again prove futile, substitute 'sleep' for 'read.'
Get up. Check Facebook. Clean and organize desk. Check Facebook. Check clock. Realize that, despite lack of desire for sleep, necessity of maintaining normal sleep cycle.
Complete nightly hygiene regimen. Put on pajamas. Get into bed. Check voicemail. Return missed call from best friend. Cry while relaying personal tragedy. Be comforted.
