A perfect day

Things I need to have in order to make a perfect day:

• Coffee
• Something sweet and/or savory straight out of the oven 
• Books
• A clean apartment 
• An afternoon tea
• The sun 
• Blackberry on mute - preferably with an out of office (so leave me alone) message
• iPhone on mute 
• Bat phone on mute 
• Land line on mute (I know, I have too many phones) 
• Buying random pretty things for self, like flowers or cupcakes 
• Time alone
• Time with people I like

I had just the day planned for today.  

The apartment was spotless; bought all the ingredient to bake scones to go with my afternoon tea; work was covered; made dinner plans with my besties. Even the weather was cooperating.  

Then I went and got sick.  

You know when you are up-to-your-eyeballs busy - forever - and you get a couple of days of reprieve, then you get sick?  Yup.
