Patterned Life

Call her boring, but Fio lives in patterns. Typical day--As soon as she wakes up, she folds her throw rugs and places them over the back of the couch, then folds her sheet into a neat package, picks up her pillow, and deposits pillow and sheet on the dresser in the guest room. Then she opens all the blinds on the first floor, disarms the alarm system, picks up the newspaper from the front porch, takes care of the dog, and skims the newspaper. When Husband comes downstairs, the paper is in his recliner, neatly folded. After breakfast, she openes up su computadora to her emails and Google News, and also checks out Facebook.

And then there are the day that go haywire from the start.
