OUR MORNING ROUTINE

It's still dark outside, the days are getting longer.  And cooler.  
I'm under the table, looking up at mine Mommy while she sips on her coffee, her second cup.  
I've already finished my breakfast and had some fresh water.  
Now I just wait for her to finish ~ it's a quiet time for us.  

She reads a little news on her phone, I think she thinks about the day ahead, sometimes she talks, er, meows to me.  

She says she thinks most people probably have a morning routine.  

I know I do, and the next part of my routine will be when she gets up from the table ~ 

when our quiet time is over, the city lights will begin to turn off, the sun will begin to rise up over the harbor, 

I will hear the birds begin to squawk as they fly off the church domes where they have slept during the night ~ 

I'll see those things she calls "cars" begin to park on that rooftop garage

 so all those people can go to work in the big tall buildings around us ~ 

once again, the world wakes up and starts all over.  

Mine Mommy gets up from the table to wash by breakfast bowl and her coffee cup, and me?  

Well, it is time to get out from under the table, curl up in my polka dot chair and have that morning nap.  

That is our morning routine.

HAPPY DAY TO ALL OUR CANADIAN FRIENDS
