Shaken and stirred
awake from dreams in morning blur
it seams
a cup of coffee and my ride to work
will wake me up for:
a spreadsheet struggle, negotiation haggle
outlook inbox brimming
words are processed for
a lunch-tray (shaken not stirred)
paid with office meeting
and when it ends I’m riding home
a glimpse of sky and soon my dreams again
(sleeping in my spreadsheet)
embrace my Monday recipe.

My recipe for my own prompt at toads turned out to be a little ditty in awe of Monday.
Spreadsheets make the world go round … 😀
I feel with you.
Somehow, this takes me back years ago to a friend who after a rant at a poetry reading, left it all to go to New Mexico and make pottery and write sonnets. That was in 1973.
~ I love ‘sleeping in my spreadsheet’
like the subtle opposites of “Outlook inbox”
That is exactly how every Monday starts off.. 😀
Loved this recipe 😀
oh dear, i am now retired, but remember the days of the stir and the commute to work and then back hope to prepare for yet another day another shake and stir
nice response
much love…
Oh good lord I relate.
I like the embrace of the spreadsheet – now, back to mine!
Clever word play, James Bond
Hmmm, not sure I’d like that meal, myself.
Coffee! (Tea for me.) k.
Doesn’t seem like a comfortable place to sleep. Love the creativity in this!
I love the cyclical condensed quality of this, Bjorn…awesome the glimpse of sky…so important to connect with the sky, I think…
Thank you, for the challenge! 🙂
Mondays do seem to fit the recipe idea very well.
Yikes! Back to the daily grind after a Crown of Sonnets … in spreadsheets, no less. That has gotta be an epic buzz kill. Smiles.
I like it, Bjorn. I dropped out of the rat race and began a new career in midlife, teaching business at a college. More time working, on the job and at home, but lots less stress.

Thanks for the prompt, I always like to see what the ‘promptor’ has to say.

That was one busy Monday, Bjorn. 🙂 — Suzanne
Mondays…. yes, they happen 🙂 I like the shaken/stirred use and repetition.
