When my sleep inertia gradually disappears I notice that it's plugged out of the socket.
I prop up on my elbow.

The light is beaming through the window as I plug in the cord. It really doesn't make sense I get back in bed though because I have school.

Either she's going to remind me to eat breakfast or she's going to tell me how late it is-but it's one of the two.
"Yuh bathe yet?" she questions. "A soon 7:00 enuh."
