Waking up at the rise of dawn,
Snoozing the alarm 6 times before realizing I can't afford to hit another snooze button anymore if I don't want to be late for work, finally getting the energy to push myself off the bed, will I be able to make it on time if I want to cook for lunch? probably..let's just try. Can this nugget cook faster? Why is it so slow it has been 10 minutes. Ok time to chop the onions. Do I need to wash these dishes now or later when I get back home? Oh my god I'm rushing now. Ok time to take a shower. What should I wear today? Now hair oil. Hair spray. My bag, my bag. What else did I forgot? My charger. Hmm. Socks, lunch box, bag, car keys. OH SWITCH OFF ALL THE SWITCHES AND UNPLUG EVERYTHING. Ok lock the door. Oh hi puppy, the dog food ran out I'll buy some later. Sorry no food for you this morning :(.
Okay start the car, wait for the engine to warm up, the windows are so foggy. Have my cousins went to work? Is my grandpa watching me from his house? Hmm.. Ok the blue light has turned off I can go now. May God protect me during my drive. Drive slowly, drive slowly, DON'T DRIVE THROUGH THE HOLE! Help there's a car behind me, do they hate me because I'm driving too slow??? I'm so sorryyy I'm terrified of the potholes.
Ah at the parking lot now. There's an hour and 30 minutes left before work starts. I'm hungry.. I should eat the food I prepared for lunch. Time to do my makeup. Now there's 40 minutes left.... Let's just go early and hope the office door has been unlocked.
*9 hours omitted*
Time to go home! I hope I don't get robbed while I'm on my way to the car. Okay safely arrived. I should get myself some sweet treat, but I can't. I need to save up. Also I need to stop consuming sweets. But I wanna buy something to feel something. I have nothing to look forward to after work! Ok then let's go buy some vegetables from the supermarket near our house.
Traffic jammed, traffic jammed. It's 6:15 now I should arrive home by 7:17. Slowly, slowly. oops potholes. Why can't these people use their signal lights?? I hope I did not went into someone else's lane. Is that sirens I hear? Oh my god it is there's an ambulance behind me. Ok ok turn on your signal light and go slightly to the left. Does it have enough room to drive pass? HELP. ok phew.
Finally. Home. I'm so tired, I want to sleep like right now. But I'm hungry. And I need to take a shower and wait for my hair to dry. And I need to prepare for tomorrow's food. And I need to do this all over again tomorrow.
Ugh.........
Elevator buttons and morning airStrangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairsIf you were here we'd laugh about their vacant staresBut right now my time is theirs
-except the vacant stares and strangers' silence are mine.
(I'm grateful to have a job, a car to drive, a place to stay, but I'm still trying to fit in and trying to find the momentum in this new routine :') )
