I did not intend to still be living at home at the grand old age of 26, but as my 27th birthday looms closer, maybe I really should try and achieve my goals.
I grab my graffitied notebook and open it up to my goals page.
1. Get a full-time job
2. Move out!!!!
3. Get a puppy
4. Go on a holiday
5. Try some music festivals
6. Learn to drive
I look at my completely attainable goals, should I make the effort? I slam the book shut and fall back onto my bed.
Maybe tomorrow I will start.
As I prepared to cocoon myself in my duvet for the rest of the day, my mother's loud, aggravated voice echoes upstairs and my body instantly jumps up off the bed.
"JAMIE, GET UP!"
"I am." I reply in a playful tone that acknowledges that I know, she knows that I'm not really.
"Amy is here and coming your way"
"What? Why didn't you just start with that?" I yell complaining.
My door swings open fast and Amy wanders in.
"Ok, we don't have much time, I need your help for a few hours, but you need to be clean and well dressed. You go shower, fast! I'll raid your wardrobe for anything that might be put together enough" She gives me a look that screams 'hurry up' and I let out a sigh as I walk to the bathroom.
After a quick shower, I head back to find a couple of options on my now made bed.
"You know all of those options are funeral outfits" I say with a smile, which she returns.
"Oh, I know, but you have literally nothing else suitable." Amy's voice says it all, my wardrobe selection sucks.
"So, what's the deal? What am I doing this morning?"
