Good morning it is 9:35. After I got off of the computer yesterday I went strait to my DVD and completed the 30 minutes warm up on a Brazilian dance DVD.  I was tempted to complete the DVD and dance my way out of a disciplined schedule, but for you, my readers and my blog. I went strait over and picked up the guitar. Then spent nine minutes of my practice time circling around our one bedroom, very clean apartment, trying to find my pick. Eek!
A pick is an easy thing to lose. One time I was looking for it every where, thinking, "COME ON, I was just using the damn thing." When I walked by the floor length mirror to discover it stuck to the outside of my thigh.
You would think I would just finger pick the guitar but I AM PRACTICING STRUMMING and holding my pick correctly. Eventually I got anxious about the time slipping by and decided to use a dime. The dime makes a funny metal on metal sound that I am sure is not an aesthetic you want ringing through your ears.
The shower and the grooming went well. I got on the computer between every thirty minute task to remember what I was supposed to do and to check my email and goof off a few minutes. I keep looking at my email because, I am hoping for an email from a job I applied to. I know, I know, checking every thirty minutes is excessive.
So I spoke to a friend about the reading time being too short and she was right, it is very hard to watch the clock when relaxing to read. I will move my reading back to the evening when dinner is cooking, or done, and it is cool enough I can just relax on the back patio with my book.
In my afternoon writing I wrote this:
The morning sun dripped through the kitchen window and onto the floor, making it hot liked spilled coffee. 
The fan looks back and forth across the room making movement and causing sighs of pleasure from the people there. 
The scar on her stomach itches and she wonders if a suture is still holding her together, she is grateful something is.
Okay today's schedule:
