hopeless aspirations. (girlxgirl)

"Oh, shit." I groaned under my breath, seeing that I was late for work. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. After briskly brushing my teeth, washing my face, and hopping in the shower, I headed for the wardrobe.

"Damn it!" I screamed, not caring if I just woke up all of my neighbors on their peaceful Monday morning. There's absolutely nothing for me to wear and I'm freaking the hell out. If I'm late for work for the third time this week, Jenna will kill me.

I ended up just throwing on a pair of casual blue jeans and a loose flannel.  After putting my outfit on, I rolled the sleeves of my shirt up.  I threw on little-to-no makeup and left my hair in its natural straight state.

"Bye, Waffles, I love you." I said to my little kitten. Waffles was the runt in his family, so he's really small. He's a good little friend to have around and he practically worships me. Whenever I'm just standing around, he rubs up against me, signaling that he wants me to pet him. He also sleeps with me, distracts me from doing my house chores, and loves to watch telly with me.

I scurried down the steps of my three-story apartment and grabbed my keys off the kitchen counter.  I grabbed one of my homemade fruit smoothies and two granola bars.  When I got all my stuff together, I walked out my front door and ran to my buggy, careful not to slip on the damp autumn leaves.

I started my car and drove down the street as quickly as the Brighton police will allow me to without getting a ticket.  Once I got to the coffee shop, I jumped out of the car, bringing my bag and my now empty mason jar with me. I stepped in through the back door and put in my punch card.
