Today is much like normal. There has been so much activity, so much going on. It felt very hectic.
Remembering a hectic day when I traveled from Guyana (GEO) to Maryland (BWI) via Miami (MIA). I remember that day well. The layover in Miami was way longer than I expected. The flight was good though. There were a lot of free/unoccupied seats. I moved to a better seat during the flight. There was no issue.

I read Poe. It is not my style but it was good. Boy, was I surprised that he wrote a poem on El Dorado. Surprisingly, there is a lot of information on El Dorado.
I am not certain which poems are better - the old poems or newer poems like Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. I enjoy reading. Maybe it depends on the topic.
I now have more ideas on when to write a poem rather than a story or essay.

A lot of people have dreams that begin with "one day...". The information would be good as a poem. Here is a poem about a dream career:

(You could also look to other poems titled "One Day" for inspiration)
One day could be a day that changes your life. The poem could be similar to this:
It is 3pm already. A lot is happening all around. What a day. I needed a break.
I still have several copies of my book left. I am still reviewing. I wonder which poem readers would pick as the best. Would it be the summary of lessons? I like that poem a lot. I think others could relate. I did not include the sayings in that poem. For example, Lindeners would say: Dem ol' people know what dey talking bout. Another: Don't mix with the wrong crowd. This could be an essay of course.
I canceled/cancelled the items (from my Walmart order) for pickup. I told them pickup would not work for me. I really did intend to have a single order for delivery.
It is a good day. I also looked into that particular professor job I applied for months ago. The system provided a high-level update. I wasn't certain whether interview selections were already made. I pretty much asked for additional information.
I received the first delivery from Walmart not so long ago. I was hoping there was going to be one delivery (of my order). But so be it. I like what I got.
(The were some complications associated with my order. There was separate delivery of an item - shown at the time of order - because speedy delivery was available. In addition, 2 substitutions were necessary. I approved a replacement item for one, but somehow it was not included with other items. I believe they want me to pickup that item. And more)
