Waking up the next morning, I roll around in bed not wanting to get up. This is the first time I've had a good amount of sleep. I lay there staring at my phone, checking for any messages.

Still nothing. I haven't had anything from dad since I got here. I wish he would just send me a little message so I know he's okay.

After looking through my phone I decide to get up. Pushing the covered off me. I rush from my bed to the closet.

My God I didn't know it was going to be this cold today. I thought I had my heat on?

I throw on my fuzzy robe and some house slippers before heading into the hallway. I go to the thermostat and check the setting.

What the fuck. It had changed its temperature to 65! Why the hell would I what it at 65 it's too cold for that.

Sighing in frustration I changed the temperature to 70 and put it on heat. While I wait and try to warm up the house again I think I'm gonna go to the kitchen. I need somthing to drink and eat.

Standing in the kitchen I drink my hot tea, and take some bits of my bacon. Yummy.😋 I stare out the window, watching the wind outside blowing the trees. Making them sway back and forth, it looks as if their dancing. It's so beautiful and peaceful here.

I can imagine mom being here, outside having party's or playing as a child.

Thinking about her is getting harder to do. It just keeps making me sad. However, today I'm going into town, BEFORE Clark gets here that way I can avoid him.

Yesterday was different. I haven't been that close to a man that wasn't Ben my bestfriend in forever. All my focus has always been on getting my dad freed. I'm not sure what to do about Clark. I'm not sure if he has feelings or what my feelings are. So it's best to just ignore it.

My plan for today is to go into town and find a job. Then maybe do some snooping on the town. See what I can dig up.

First thing first tho I'll find me a little job and get settled in. Maybe if I can handle it emotionally I'll do some digging on my mom's life here.

Who know maybe I'll finally get some answers.

Going back up stairs I set out my clothes on the bed and get my shower stuff ready. Heading to the bathroom I turn the water on and let it heat up. Taking my pjs off I get into the shower. Letting the hot water run over me feels great.

As I finish washing up I shut the water off and grab a towel. Drying off I leave the towel wrapped around me. And wrap my hair up too. Doing all my normal stuff. I brush my teeth and run a comb through my hair.

Plugging up my hair dryer, I try and dry my hair quickly. Thats probably not going to happen since my hair is soooooooo thick.

Once I'm done with my hair kinda, well it ended up in a bun. I'm dressed and ready to go. Walking back into my bedroom I grab my keys and head down stairs.

I head to the kitchen to make sure I've turned off the stove. I grab my 'coffee Queeen' travel cup and fill it with vanilla, Carmel coffee. Yum😋☕ Gotta have that caffeine.

Leaving the kitchen I walk down the little hall/entry way and out the door. I hop in the car and pull out of the driveway heading toward town.

   Taking my time driving I try and taken in my surroundings. It's so weird to live somewhere that's so peaceful, but I can get use to this.
