stand still

The forgotten alarm sounds from the tablet on the table in the corner of the bedroom. Last night , the intention to turn it off was not carried out. And now the awakening at five.
Unnecessary.
Get up, stumble over to the table, touch the button displayed on the tablet's screen until the device stops making sounds.
Think for a moment, go to the lavatory, then return to bed.
There is no real need to get up.

Later, at six thirty get up and shower.
The son is up then too, preparing for school.
He is always up alone in the morning, later than his father.
He only has a five minute walk into school.
very nice and comfortable.
A fresh towel soaked with water now.
water wiped away from the shower-soaked body.

And then put on the clothes for the day.
It will be four hours before the appointment at the barbers.
There will be time to go to the bank before then.
There will be time to do a few things before then.

The son has left, he made a cup of coffee for his father before leaving.
That was nice of him.
Now it is a quarter to eight
time does not stand still
