Today has been a mixture of good and bad, bright and dark, cheer and sadness. My day started with me naturally waking up at 06:29, that is not a normal occurrence. That should have been the first flag to indicate today was going to be a doozy.
I am glad that I was able to wake up naturally as opposed to an electronic bleeping. one of my personal goals is to start and end my day with the sun, following the natural rhythms of life. This could be the beginning of attaining that goal. Let me clarify, being awake and being ready to start my day are not the same. That is another thing to work on.
The breakfast routine quickly became a disaster. The French press fell off the water dispenser shelf and shattered. Scalding hot water, coffee grounds and broken glass all over the floor. This is one of the moments that I regret my environmental commitment to no paper products in the kitchen. As I scoop up the mess without burning or cutting myself- Loki and Layla have got to investigate. Layla followed the “get out of the kitchen” roar, Loki just continued to sniff about- hopefully he does not have glass up his nose. Out came the K machine for coffee 2.0, all before 07:00.
The break in the rain is most welcome, the amount of rainfall has clearly impacted the beach. The sand has been eroded from the beach approach right down to water edge. There is a large area that has washed out and a new riptide area has developed. The cloud cover prevented basking in the sun or drying my face after a splash wash.
