Kurt woke up tired, which defeated the purpose of sleeping. He decided there was nothing he could do about the day so he showered and got dressed. Breakfast was a regular and formal affair with a group of legislators trying to pass a new law. Kurt then took a personal call as he was walking toward the military's headquarters. His meeting with the head brass was slightly unpleasant and very unnerving. When Kurt arrived at his personal office, his secretary informed him that he had no more meetings for the day; all the visiting dignitaries had canceled. Kurt made another call, this time to his personal guard. Then he wrote a letter; Kurt ignored the yellow wax that had splashed onto his hands from a clumsy attempt at sealing the letter. It was not worth the bother.
