it is horrible to wake up today, and dizzy and hard to breath. The cat is kicking up, it is just before six in the morning. Open the door for the incapable feline, and the stupid selfish animal goes out and then just wanders back in again. Indecisive feline, does not know what she wants.
Silence the alarm that has started in the meantime.
Go back to bed at once, without delay, to a strange kind of instantaneous sleep, like an aneasthetic.
The son brings a cup of hot coffee, the smell finding it's way to the brain,
awaken
sit up
and say thank you. That was very kind of him.
Later, when the recovery is complete, and all the news has been read, read a novel.
There is time to be spent today, just to be enjoyed. These are the last holidays from work, a remainder from last year that have to be taken before they expire. The remainder of this years holidays will simply flow into next years retirement.
Go out into the sunny weather, go to the little black car. It still works, it is just that it is not good enough to make the safety checks any more. Because of the virus, and other difficulties, the municipal service people have been unable to deliver the yellow plastic bags that are required for the disposal of packaging waste. Drive the little car to the depot outside the town, that is where the waste depot is. And that is also where the rolls of plastic bags are kept ready for distrbution, and in case of emergency, they may be collected there as well.
After half an hours drive, arrive at the big steel gate. There is a notice there with the opening times.
On Tuesdays, afternoons only.
That would be an hours wait.
Drive to a nearby washing service, and put two Euros into the machine and wash the car down with a hand spray. That is the cheapest method possible.
The car should look clean for sale, it is better to sell the car for a little than have to pay a scrap merchant to take it.
Returning to the steel gate find it open. Go in, ask for yellow bags.
Get two rolls, one for the next emergency.
