Charlie wakes up at 6:30 every morning. He pours a reasonable amount of cereal and makes his coffee. Clothes himself in what he set out the night before. He is out of the door at 7:00 and walks to the bus stop. He gets there early so he can try to get his favorite spot or at least as close possible to it. Gaining more anxious as he sees more people approach the stop. Fearing they will take is seat. He the first in the bus and he gets his favorite seat. His anxiety fades away. At about 7:30 the bus finds it stop. Charlie then walks the rest of the familiar 15-minute route to his work. He passes the same cat adoption center, the same coffee shop, and the same bike shop every day. Taking notice of each location every time. Charlie arrives at his work at about 7:45 every morning. Greeted by no one as they do not arrive until at least 7:55. It is satisfying for him to be early as it lessens his fear of being late. He walks to his office where he opens the same window as he does every day. He loves the fresh air. There is something about it that gives him a great feeling. He then sits at his desk.
