the new routine

Tomorrow morning I will wake up early. I will do 30 minutes on my stationery bike and take an hour long walk in Brooklyn. I will pick up medicine for my cat from the vet. I will buy vegetables for salads and avocados and eggs for protein. Despite them being on sale, I will not purchase any leftover Halloween candy. I will go home and work in my office. I will call my grandparents and my health insurance provider. I will hard boil eggs for snacks and gulp down Metamucil to help me feel full. I will take time to write down ideas for plays and songs and TV shows. I will go to bed at a reasonable hour and do it all again the next day. And if I fail to commit to the new routine tomorrow or the day after or any day after that, I will resist the temptation to eat $13 worth of Taco Bell.
