Passé – Preterit

Shadow boxing : résumé d’une journée au preterit :

On Monday, I woke up at 6am.
I walked to the toilet to pee, then, after I washed my hands, I prepared my coffee with an Italian coffeemaker. 
I added a spoon of chicoree because I need to stop my coffee addiction.
I ate some bread with marmalade and drank a sip of water. The coffee was ready so I took it off the fire.
After my short breakfast, I went to the bathroom and had a shower. I put my towel over the shower's door.
I dressed myself with the clothes I prepared the day before.
I turned on my laptop to see if I had some DMs from friends, and while I enjoyed my coffee, I read my emails.
I had to wash my dishes, so I did! It was time to go to the station. I took the train at 7:53am.
A dirty girl put her shoes on the seat close to me. I was still a little tired so I said nothing and closed my eyes to sleep.
The train slowed down in the middle of the travel, maybe a cow slept on the railway! It was probably a traffic issue, another train was probably late in the opposite direction. That's why I was late.
I ran to the station's exit and arrived just in time at MNS, it was 8:25am.
