It's Saturday.
Your eyelids are doing their best, but the sun's slapping you across the face like it knows you went too hard last night.
You toy with the idea of CorePlus across the road.
The last time you tried to touch your toes you pulled a hamstring and your pride.
Down to Gleadell Street Market… you're organic, wholesome, glowing.
By midweek the kale's rotting while you're smashing pad thai from Cookatoo Kitchen.
It's Riche for breakfast.
Coffee's spot on. Food's even better.
And it's only 100 metres from your door.
Next up, the dog's staring at you.
Off-lead at Citizens Park.
Dogs everywhere. Owners yelling names like it's school pick-up.
Back home. Friends roll in. Beers crack open.
Balcony doors flung wide. North sun beaming in.
Aperols start pouring like they're curing world hunger.
The stone kitchen plays along.
Gas cooking, island bench, dishwasher waiting for the aftermath.
Instagram says grazing board.
Reality = half a block of cheddar and some Shapes.
From the balcony, you're a ten-minute stroll to the G.
Your car? Waiting quietly in its stacker.
Wondering if you even remember how to drive.
First quarter: optimism.
Second quarter: Tigers down by 13 goals.
Third quarter: you're halfway through your second jug at the Corner Hotel.
It's 1am.
Google Maps says it's a 900-metre walk home.
You say "nah, I know a shortcut." Spoiler: you don't.
You crash into bed.
Tomorrow, two bathrooms = two showers running.
Hangovers managed. Life sorted.
