Before getting up to work in the morning, I settle down under the covers, with a cup of coffee and plan my day. If it is Monday, I like to plan the week ahead. So with that in mind I decide #whatsontoday, how long will each task take?

Well, dear friends, all I can say is you can plan all you like, but putting them into action is another thing entirely.

Today, began just like every other day. I had great plans mapped out. I had done my meditation and affirmations for the day. Good start.

Up, showered, dressed, eaten, "coffee d" up, ready to face the day.

My plan was to go onto a zoom exercise class which my dear friend Deborah Nicholls runs each day.

This entailed moving a lot of items around in my lounge to make space. Put away my art supplies which have been in use for the past couple of weeks. I certainly didn't want them cluttering up the space.

Everything was looking as "ship-shape" as I could get it and, then disaster struck. My laptop would not come on.

After trying many, many weird and wonderful ways, saying many things I ought not to have said, I called my backup man, my son Greg, who is in IT,

I followed his instructions and after quite a while of waiting, missing my class, throwing my toys out of the cot, picking them up again, I was able to get on line again.

Joy of joys, back on line. Then when I tried to get into Wealthy Affiliate, no joy. Either I had forgotten my own name, email address, or password, or all three, but I could not get on.

I decided this called for more coffee, a little weep into the cup, and when I got back to the laptop, WOOHOO! Thank you, Wealthy Affiliate for finding me again.

I received a very welcome message in my mailbox with the details I required.

Now I may take a deep breath, get my equilibrium back, and begin on the tasks set for Monday.
