The calm that lays after the storm.  Everything is still and silent at first.  In the morning I can hear the cats swagger from room to room as the wooden boards creek beneath them.  Slowly as I wake up I start to hear the low rumble of cars that pass our house on Case.  Things are starting to pick up.
A short set of confusion like being set in front of a big meal without a game plan sets in for a short while.  What should I do now?  I set my alarm clock for later, because I don't want to deal with it in all honesty.  Soon I will feel that busy urge that will lead me to my car and my errands.  That uncontrollable itch that is very comparable to a bad sunburn.  I want to absorb as much from yesterday as I can.  That feeling of doing nothing, just being for a second. 
Today I am happy for the silent mornings and a final appreciation for oatmeal.
