"Jay...we good?" I asked, needing to know.
"Yeah, we good," she replied casually.
"What that mean though?" I pressed, wanting clarity.
She sighed, putting her spoon down. "We cool, we friends... no drama, no hard feelings. But since that's your girl...

I woke up and checked the time on my phone: 10:45 AM. I sighed, mentally mapping out my day. First, I'd head to the DMV to update my license, then schedule the Wi-Fi installation on my way to Best Buy. After that, I needed to tackle more tasks for the house before finally opening that last envelope.
I checked my messages and saw several notifications from the group chat and a message from Alonzo. They were sent hours ago, but I decided to respond after my shower and morning routine.

I came downstairs and made sure I had everything I needed for the day ahead. I checked the time and decided to grab food on the way since cooking would take too long. As I headed to the garage, I responded to my friends and Alonzo. He had followed through on his word and sent multiple options for furniture both online shops and local ones. From the looks of it, I would be doing some shopping around today, both online and in person.
I got in my car and headed to Henri's Bakery & Deli, the closest deli in the direction I was headed according to Apple Maps. Once I got there, I scanned the menu and saw they had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Of course, I ordered it with an apple juice.
When my order was ready, I grabbed it and walked back to my car. I got situated and began eating as I continued my drive to the DMV. The sandwich was alright; it didn't hit as hard as the ones from New York, but it would do whenever I had a craving.
After several minutes, I pulled up to the DMV and parked my car. It looked packed, with cars everywhere. If this DMV was anything like the ones in New York or worse, I should have brought my gun. I didn't have time for this today.
After going in and getting my ticket number, I sat down and waited to be called, watching the numbers change every few minutes on the board.
"God, please, if you hear me, let this go quickly," I thought to myself
I decided to use this time to browse some websites and order my mattress while listening for my number. I found a few pieces that I really liked and made some purchases. I ordered two different dining sets-one for the breakfast area and one for the dining room. One had six placements, and the other had eight. I also got some stools for the island, furniture for the living room, patio furniture, and a desk for setting up my home office downstairs since I work from home right now. There were other things I wanted to buy from the local places since they offered online purchasing, but I decided to check them out in person to see what else I could find.
