Wake up and smell the aroma of burning plastic. Check the filter on the fish tank. It sprung a leak overnight. The extension cords and power strips are all wet and burned out. Throw them out. Clean up the mess from all the water that leaked out of the filter. Go to Home Depot for a new metal power strip with ten outlets. Seal the filter properly. Start it up again. Go to the office. Pack up a client’s file and mail it off. At sunset walk south on 27th Street to Oklahoma Avenue. Stop at Leon’s for a vanilla ice cream cone. Walk north on 35th Street. Listen to the Bucks lose game three to the Toronto Raptors in double overtime.
Happier at the end of the day
Go to Pick N’ Save in the morning to grocery shop. Stop at Home Depot to get air filters for the furnace. Do laundry. Feel depressed. Go to the office. Go to the jail for a consultation. Go back home. Clean out the filter on the fish aquarium. Begin to feel better. Walk along the lakefront to Northpoint. Walk along the river back downtown. Happier at the end of the day.
