I broke a glass today.
I dropped it on the bathroom floor,
I wasn't watching what I was doing and accidently knocked down.
I watched it shatter on the floor,
and for a moment I was worried about the cats cutting their feet.
I should sweep it up, clean it up, vacuum the floor.
But I pushed it aside, to the corner.
It's not in the way there, no one will see it.
I won't stand on it.
The cats don't go there.
I should tidy it up, but I don't.
I'm too tired.
I brush my teeth and go to bed,
I'll clean it tomorrow.
I broke a glass last night.
I should have cleaned it up,
but I didn't.
No one cut their feet, the pieces didn't shatter.
It's fine in its pile there. It's not bothering anyone.
I'll clean it up tonight when I have the energy,
and the mess of the day is done.
I broke a glass at this time last night.
It's in the corner, it's not hurting anyone.
The cats don't bother with it and I'm too tired to clean it.
It's not in the way. I'll clean it tomorrow when I have the energy.
I'm too tired to do it now.
I brush my teeth and go to bed.
I'll get the broom tomorrow.
I must get the broom and dustpan today.
I stare at the pile of shattered glass while I brush my teeth.
It's in the corner, in a pile.
I just need to get the dustpan and sweep it up.
It's not that difficult, but I don't have the energy.
It doesn't need to be cleaned.
It can wait.
I broke a glass two nights ago.
It's not that difficult to clean but it's still there.
Why can't I just clean it up?
I'll do it tonight when I have the time.
I stare at the pile of glass as I brush my teeth for bed.
The cats are fed.
I fed myself.
I watered my plants.
It's not that difficult to clean a pile of broken glass.
Yet it's still there.
I'll clean it tomorrow. It's Saturday tomorrow.
I broke a glass three nights ago.
I was meant to clean it today but I didn't,
I was so tired.
I fed the cats.
I watered the plants.
I ate something.
I spent the whole day resting but I'm still so tired.
I'll clean it tomorrow.
I broke a glass four nights ago.
It's still in the corner.
It's starting to lose it's shine.
It doesn't look so dangerous now.
The cats haven't cut their feet.
Tomorrow is Monday and I'm still tired.
All I have to do is get the dustpan and clean it.
But I don't.
I brush my teeth and go to bed.
Tomorrow is Monday.
I broke a glass five nights ago.
It is still in its corner.
Today was Monday.
I'm not going to clean it now, I'm too tired.
When will I not be tired?
I brush my teeth and go to bed.
Tomorrow is Tuesday.
I broke a glass six nights ago.
Tonight I didn't wash the dishes.
I was too tired.
I fed the cats.
I watered the plants.
I brushed my teeth and went to bed.
I broke a glass a week ago.
I see it every day in bathroom when I go to brush my teeth.
I know I have to clean it up but I can't.
I'm too tired. It's too much effort.
I fed the cats.
I brushed my teeth.
I went to bed.
I broke a glass...
