There is a short path I take when coming from the coffee pot and heading back to my office. It isn’t overgrown with leaves and branches and there are no tree roots to step over. So far there haven’t been any wildlife concerns or hostile natives. In fact, there are only socks on my feet, no shoes or boots. The terrain is completely level and is indoors. There is a slight transition between the kitchen and living room, but so far it has posed no problems.
Mostly it is a transition of decorations. There is a smattering of artwork, a couple mirrors and a sharp turn that needs to be negotiated, but it is completely visible and it is easy to tell when it is coming up.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have made this journey and have even made it in the throws of just waking up. Yes, still groggy I have followed this path without incident. So, what was different about today? Why now? What was different? I did notice that my coffee cup was fuller than normal. Which means it was closer to sloshing over the edge as I walked. Was my coffee pot no longer concise? Was it feeling generous and thought I should have a little more than usual?
Has there been a
mechanical glitch or electrical snafu?
Is Mr. Coffee out on strike and now some management type is sitting in,
trying to do his job? As you can see, I
had many questions. Hopefully all of
these thoughts will go away once I’ve had my coffee.

Taking this route so much, you have memorized the bumps and learned to go with the flow. You are always in the same lane when it comes to your daily routine. I guess you could say that your life is on cruise control.
