coffee alone

Right now I am enjoying a little pleasure I get all too seldom, sitting alone in the dining room in the early morning, drinking coffee, reading the news, and feeling relaxed. Five days a week I am hurrying out the door, and Saturdays and Sundays I usually sleep in to make up for the sleep deficit I accumulate during the week. But today I am off, my body woke me up at 6, and the kids are all abed, so the moment is all mine.
