She #5

She was awakened by the sound of knocking on her door. It's her sister. She was too sleepy to understand a word she said. She went back to bed and checked the time. Fucking 5:50 am, she thought. It was too early for her to wake up so she snuggled back to bed. But she couldn't seem to get her sleep back. Her sister appeared to have gained 100 million more pounds in her feet. Her footsteps were very loud. She tried covering herself with the blanket and her ears with her stuffed toys. The mickey mouse on the left, the bunny on the right. Cozy enough, she thought. And then the sister turned up her morning psyche mix. Oh no Alicia Keys, don't be on fire at this time, not at this time, she thought. But it was too late. Alicia made her way to the top of the world singing ooh woooah ooh. She was pissed, so pissed she fell asleep again.

She woke up for the second time at the sound of her father's voice. Defrost the fridge, he said. Fine, I will, she said. Still half asleep. She checked the time, it was 9 am. Too early for her usual wake-up time but whatever she's up anyway.

She ignored breakfast once again. Just a glass of water would suffice, she thought. It did for another 3 hours. Lunch time and she was still in bed. She just finished watching a couple of The Big Bang Theory episodes. She also caught up with Catfish the TV series. She sure does watch a lot of series.

She decided to have lunch in bed. Nobody's home anyway, she thought. While munching on rice and ground beef, she was talking to her friend about her latest blog entries. The friend was teasing her on being too cheesy. It was true, she felt cheesy. But who cares, she thought. It's her blog. She just kept talking to her friend. They exchanged thoughts about her entries. The friend told her she writes well. She was flattered. Very much flattered. Nobody has ever told her that before. She felt good. She decided she would continue writing. She decided to start slow. Write what you know and experience, she thought. That's the best way to begin, she thought.

She was energized with the thought that she'll keep writing. This was the most excited she was for weeks. She wanted to go out and meet up with friends now. She just wanted to see them. She wanted to talk, she wanted to laugh. Enough with the TV series today, she thought. She was just so excited that she wanted to be around people. Today would be fun, she told herself.

And finally, after two days, she decided to take that shower.
