virtual reality in progress...

like any morning, unsuspecting of what might be lurking outside of my dream world, i woke up and instantly made the decision to abandon the comforts of my bed and face reality... pulled up the shades and examined traffic outside the window, just as i thought, your usual morning rush hour, all these folk, eager to get to their respective jobs, appointments, etc. stuck ... how sad, i thought... and headed for the kitchen. maneuvering through last night's dinner dishes i've managed to fill the kettle with water and turn it on...
i have two kettles, one nice, innocent and bright yellow, like a smiley, but quite slow, by the time the water boils, it's time for afternoon tea, which, rest assured, will be announced with rather annoying whistle that rips through the ear like an out of control freight train, making you drop everything and run to turn it off before the local fire department hears it... i use it mostly on the weekends... to keep nice with the neighbors
the other is rather plain, white electric one... silent, but super fast. some mornings, especially those slow sluggish "i need more sleep" or hangover ones, i have to refill it with water twice because by the time i get my cup and pick out which tea to have, the water has all but boiled itself out to a humid cloud steaming up my windows...
thankfully this morning, the fog was on the outside, perhaps it's because i decided on coffee instead of tea....
now... what shall i wear today?
