(internal monologue)- Just minding my own business, trying to understand things in my life as time moves on. Don't want to be ahead of time too much or might miss what's in front of me. I most definitely don't want to be behind time. The feeling of having to catch up to where I believe I'm suppose to be in life is nonsensical.

(Alarm Clock)- Beep Beep Beep Beep.........Beep Beep Beep Beep

This device will self destruct in 5..4..3..2..1..

(KalaH)- Just kidding, wakes up, unplugs/deactivates her phone, the charge is complete. (looks at the time 12:26 P.M.) Time for a late night snack.

Creeps out of bed slowly, opens the bedroom door, and tiptoes down stairs into the kitchen. (opens the fridge door and it makes a creaky sound) starts to giggle to herself softly, it cracks me up every time. I know you hate it when I have to steal your food. It's okay, I'll replace it. (Takes rice pudding cup out of fridge) Hmm where's the cinnamon, goes up in the cabinet, quietly. Gotcha, don't try to run. Shakes some on top of her rice pudding cup. Leaves it out on the counter.

Next she gets a couple of wheat thins out of the box, and puts them on a napkin, leaves it out on the counter. Goes back into the fridge( fridge door creaks open again) oh hush it, you're not the one who has nightmares. Grabs the apple juice box and puts it on the counter as well.

She tiptoes back upstairs and back into her bedroom, closes the door back locks it , and creeps back into her cozy bed, and goes into sleep mode.

(7 Hours Later )

Kandess Viewpoint:

I woke up like I was going to work but didn't get up to get dressed. It was one of those mornings, where I didn't quite know what day it was. I'm guessing it's Monday, since I went to church yesterday. Luckily I decided to take today off for myself, I need a break. (sits up in bed) Let me call my Bae (Sa'Pree) he should be getting off work, since he works a night shift ( dials number, dialing Bae) Rinnnng Rinnng, please leave a message at the beep. ( hangs up) ( calls the second time, doesn't pick up) Damn, I really wanted to talk to him too. I'm not gonna bother him. Puts phone down beside her. 

(Gets out the bed, puts on her black silk robe and slippers to match) Let me go downstairs and drink some hot chocolate with the teeny tiny marshmallows. Mmm my favorite. (Heats up milk in a mug, pours in the cocoa packet) This smells so good ( gets out a big silver spoon to mix in the marshmallows) (Bows Head) Thank you God for waking me up with your morning light and waking me up on the right side of the bed, oh and for this delicious cup of hot coco, Amen. ( Sip, Sip, Sluurrrp) AHH just right. Sits down at the dining room table and opens up her laptop. Finds some pumped up music from her playlist. You know what time it is. (puts down her mug, and Starts to dance around) a little morning exercise won't hurt. Does some leg stretches, then goes into the deep squats in the kitchen. Grabs the loaf of bread while coming up from the squat (ONE) . Walks over to the toaster unties the bread bag. ( Deep squat) mm yup (breaths out)(TWO) here we go ( deep squat) (breaths in, breaths out)(THREE) puts the bread in the toaster. Starts dancing again more movements with the shoulders and hips this time. ( Warm tanned toast pops up) Goes into the refrigerator and gets the apple jam out. (pulls the hot toast out) Ouch man that hurt, Fuck what was I thinking. (Spreads the new apple jelly she bought on the piece of bread) takes a big bite throws spoon in the sink. I don't know why I act like this is the best thing in the world for.... it's just some crushed up apples with sugar, ( inside thought - hmm but wouldn't that be more like apple sauce ) Whatever.

  Moving around in the kitchen doing the two step biting at the toast, occasionally dropping crumbs. ( Bzzt Bzzt, phone vibrates, then ringtone goes off) Stops dancing. Runs to the computer (hits space bar to stop music) what's that sound ( stuffs the rest of toast in her mouth) Crap that's my phone ( looks around the room) Shit I left it upstairs (Runs/ Sprints upstairs skipping two steps at a time, busts through the bedroom door.) Picks up phone off the dresser, answers it just in time. Hello ... Hello. ( looks at phone, It was BAE!!) End call... Dang,  I missed my Bae call. Hhhh. DING DONG!! (doorbell rings) Probably the Dam mailman with my package finally. Freakin 3 days late, it better be free, shiiit, or ima shove it down his throat. ( DING-DONG...DING-DONG). I'm coming! I'm Coming! Geesh. ( puts on a white t- shirt, no bra, then slides on her pajama pants, and throws on some fuzzy pink socks that were lying on the floor). ( forgets to take off head scarf). Marches down stairs, almost slips, but holds on to the rail. ( looks through the peephole, but the person outside is covering it up) sucks teeth, why is he trying to play games with me this morning.
