You wake up with nowhere to be.

No appointments. No errands that have to happen. Nothing you’ve promised anyone.

The whole day is open.

It sounds good.

You make coffee and sit down. You check your phone. Look at the time.

8:17.

You could go somewhere. You could stay home. You could read. Watch something. Take a walk.

You don’t have to decide yet.

Still, you start making a list.

Laundry. Groceries. Maybe clean the bathroom.

By nine o’clock, the day has a shape again.

You feel better.
