awake without the sound of stressful alarms
no violence to sleep.
It is early, but it is later than usual
Five thirty.
Shower
Get dressed

Let the cat in
the small triangular face with the big eyes in two corners and the whiskers projecting from the third.

She jumps.
up onto the knees, lets herself be petted.
Then down again, she wants to be fed.
Get up, cross the bedroom, enter the kitchen, switch on the coffee maker open the refrigerator.
Take out the catfood, place some on the plate.
The cat shows interest, then feeds.
Make a cup of coffee
relax.

you do not know what will happen and there will be no warning
