A Morning as I Have Come To Understand It.

---

(eyes open)

Up. Get up.

Hi Roscoe, good morning buddy.

Clothes.

What was happening today?

Looks like I’m wearing this.

I know Roscoe — I’ll get the collar.

Bathroom… I think it’s in here.

Yep.

Looks like it’s here.

Slippers.

What is it?

I know I’m missing something…

Oh God, I’m losing it.

Come on, Jimmy, Remember.

Okay Roscoe, let’s do it.

Zip.

Where’s your collar?

Okay. Click.

Let’s do it.

Notebook.

The notebook will know.

Where’s the kitchen…

I think it’s this way.

Wait — is today trash day?

Tuesday night for Wednesday pickup.

Is that right?

Come on Jimmy, remember.

Let’s see -the kitchen.

Let’s see what the notebook says.

January 13. Tuesday.

(looks at clock)

Look at that — Tuesday.

Trash day. Okay.

Trash out Tuesday for Wednesday pickup.

Is today Tuesday?

Wait. Notebook says Monday.

January 12.

Blue pill — did that at 8:03 a.m.

What the hell… clock says 7:42.

That can’t be right.

(flips page)

Okay… here we go.

Tuesday January 13.

(looks at clock) 7:43 a.m.

Okay. This is today, Roscoe.

(writes “Today” at top and underlines)

Let’s see.

( reads notebook instructions)

1. Blue pill.

2. Drink vitamin — oh boy, can’t wait.

3. Pump cream — oh jeez…

I think it’s on my shoulder.

Like a damn hospital around here.

Hate getting old like this.

4. Text Steph.

…

I’ll do that later.

5. Trash out Tuesday for Wednesday pickup — okay, yeah.

I gotta remember that.

(Underlines, writes sticky note)

Okay.

Let’s get some coffee, Roscoe.

We got one hell of a day.
