I've had a really busy day today. I rolled out of bed at around 7:00 AM, like every morning, and jumped in the shower. After brushing my teeth and shaving, I picked up my morning paper from the front sidewalk and started reading it. I like to eat breakfast when I read the paper, so I poured myself a bowl of cereal 1. At around 7:30, I went into my office and sat down to go over my to-do list. First, it was off to the post office to check my P.O. box. Then I went to the public library down the street to check out some books I've been meaning to read.
Next stop: the supermarket. My wife had given me a grocery list as long as your arm of things to pick up. I grabbed 2 a shopping cart and got down to business. After I checked off everything on my list, I headed to the check out stand to pay for my items.
But I wasn't done yet. I zipped over to the bank, where I had to make a deposit 3 and withdraw some money from the ATM. Fortunately, the line wasn't too long and I was able to get in and out quickly. My next stop was the pharmacy 4, where I needed to pick up my prescriptions 5. Finally, I headed home again. Now, I have to go to my real job!
