Just A Few Minutes

I shouldn't be typing right now.

The calendar on my computer just told me that I have a hair appointment in 50 minutes which means I need to leave in 35 minutes.

I went to Bar class this morning so I need to shower. The great thing about hair appointments is that I don't have to wash my hair before I go!

I came home from class made a protein shake, emptied the dishwasher, restocked the Keurig drawer with pods and loaded wet laundry into the dryer. As I restocked the Keurig drawer the idea of a cup of coffee started sounded really good so I turned the machine on and brewed a cup.

I decided to take a few minutes, sit on my back porch and enjoy the early morning heat and my coffee before rushing back into my day.

So, here I sit. I don't sit out here often enough. It's so peaceful. It's not necessarily quiet - the dryer is going, birds are squawking, a lawnmower is going and I hear the occasional car in the distance - but they are peaceful sounds and it is soothing.

Just a few minutes.
