Savannah slowly woke up, not wanting to open her eyes. She stretched lazily in bed, torn between not wanting to get out of bed and needing to use that bathroom desperately. She had finally slept through the night, these random bouts of insomnia were getting exhausting. She could hold it a bit longer she thought, snuggling back into her soft bamboo sheets. Then the bed dipped suddenly, followed by a high pitch meow and a needy paw pressed into her hip. Well, there goes that. With a sigh, she opened her eyes, the soft glow of light creeping in through the white lacey curtains. Checking her phone, it was nine o'clock in the morning. She needed to be at Brock's around ten-thirty for brunch.

'Meeooow!'

Savannah looked down at the black cat with the bright red collar sitting on her hip, "Jiji, Do you mind?"

'Mroww'

"I thought as much." Reluctantly she rolled herself out of bed; her stomach rolled a little, and she sat on the edge of the bed, letting the feeling pass. Once she was sure she wouldn't puke, Savannah padded across the flooring to the ensuite black cat in tow. Once her bladder was relieved, Savannah started her morning routine, flipping on her straightener, brushing her teeth, and washing her face. Jiji was sitting on the opposite side of the counter, silently judging as he waited. She exits the bathroom in search of clothes, checking the radar. Of course, another scorcher, imagine that.

She pulls out a white flowy spaghetti strap sundress with pink peonies and lace along the top and bottom of the dress; she pairs the dress with a pair of sandals. Heading back into the bathroom, she runs the straightener through her hair. Stopping to look at her reflection, she loves this dress. It's soft and clung to all the right places, and the lace at the top lays against her breast perfectly.

'Moow'

"I know, I know." She sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "I'm coming; hold your whiskers.", she mumbles, flipping the light off as she leaves the bathroom.

Jiji followed her to the kitchen, winding in between her feet. Once his royal highness had food and water, Savannah made herself a cup of tea because the smell of coffee did not agree with her as of late and sat at the breakfast nook, rechecking her phone. She has a couple of messages from Michelle asking if she would be willing to come in today from noon until ten, but she promptly ignores that. Another was from her work group chat with Wanda and Coco; both of them were working this weekend and sent her updates on how the morning was going.

Savannah wandered through the house, watering her plants, which she was surprised were still alive. She was infamously known for killing a cactus; it was a wonder Jiji was still thriving. She snorted at the thought, he would definitely remind her to feed him. He does that now; even when his food bowl isn't empty, he follows her, voicing his complaints.
