"That's true. I do know you like to stock up on utensils too." Katrina laughed. They put their shoes on and went in his car. When they got to the China Wok, Katrina grabbed the money out of her wallet and stuck the wallet deep under the seat. Michael waited for her and they went inside and waited in line. When they got up there, Katrina said, "hi, we had a call in under Katrina." The woman at the register said, "yes mam, your ordered one shrimp fried rice with chicken wings and then a shrimp lo mein with chicken wings." Katrina nodded. She said, "okay, that will be 18.99." Katrina handed her a $20-dollar bill. When Katrina got their food, Michael got the bag from her. He went over to the counter anf grabbed forks, napkins and hot sauce. He even grabbed some soy sauce and duck sauce. When they were done grabbing what they needed, they told the woman thank you and to have a good day.
They went back to the car and headed home. When they got there, Katrina got her wallet from under the seat. They walked in the house and went to the kitchen. They took the food out the bags and separated what each of them wanted. When they got done, they headed back to the room. When they got there, Michael grabbed the remote and pressed play. They ate and watched TV. They watched the whole first and second season. After a while, they finished eating, and they dumped the trays. They went back to the room with napkins and made sure they cleaned off the bed. Katria grabbed the vacuum and made sure there was not a crumb on the floor. Katrina wanted to make sure there weren't going to be any creepy crawlers around anywhere. After they were done, they sat back down. They finished watching the last episode of the second season.
Once they were done, Katrina went to her writing room, and grabbed a book. She wanted to catch up on her reading. She picked out Pride and Prejudice. It was one of her favorite books. She knew she needed to go back to the book store. She hadn't been there in a little while. When she got back to the room, Michael was going over his files. She knew it was a good thing she did grab a book. When he was going through his files, he wouldn't be paying any attention to her. She knew it was very important though. Katrina got comfortable on her side of the bed. She drank some more of her soda. Katrina put the can down and got back to her book. By the time Katrina was on chapter 5, Michael was wrapping up with his files. They sat by side and Katrina was reading, while Michael was going over his notes. He wanted to make sure he was back on track.
Once he got done, he kissed Katrina on the cheek and turned over. He went to sleep by 10. Katrina was still reading. She didn't choose to stop reading until 10:45. When she was done, she laid her book on the nightstand. She got up and went to the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. When she came out, she crawled into bed and went to sleep. When they got up the next morning, they took turns in the shower. When they came out, they shared a kiss goodbye and went to work. Throughout the day, they did text each other. When they got done with their breaks they went back to work. Katrina and her coworker Cynthia made sure all the inventory was done. When it was 9:00, they were happy to close. Katrina and Cynthia had done so much running around the store, they were overjoyed to go home. Katrina and Cynthia said their goodbyes when they pulled out the driveway. When Katrina got in the car, she called Michael.
When she heard his voice, she let him know she was on the way home. Katrina got off the phone with him after a little while. She turned on her music and drove home. Katrina was pleased with how the days have been going. She knew she was going to have keep staying strong. She didn't need the depression to sneak up on her. Katrina knew she hadn't completely written in a few days. She knew she was going to have to catch back up with herself. She didn't want to lose focus. When she got home, she found herself scrambling around for her notebook. When she found it on her nightstand, she went straight into her writing room. She turned on the computer and got to work. She figured she could squeeze out three chapters and be done with it. Katrina knew she could squeeze them out. When she got to the middle of the first chapter, she stopped.
She knew she needed to get out of her clothes. She decided to take a full shower. When she got out, she plugged her phone in. She turned on her music and went to town. She made sure she didn't stop for too many breaks. She even waited for uncramp her hands. She knew she had to fight through the want to stop. She knew she wanted the story finished. She wanted to make another worthy book. She wanted to keep proving to herself, she was good enough. She knew that she was her worst critic. She knew she was going to have get past the person who says she can't do it. Her doubts in herself were not going to win. She needed to push herself and keep going. She needed to just sit and type. Just let everything flow through. Find a way to never let the wrongful thoughts make her feel less than. She knew she was going to make it.
When Michael got home, he found her in the writing room, just typing away. He walked in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Katrina said, "hey baby, how was your day?" "It was great. How was your day?" "It was good. I realized I have been neglecting my writing so I'm trying to push it. I got two chapters done." "That's good. Especially considering you didn't think you were going to finish the story. I'm proud of you." "Thank you." Katrina said, "we got leftovers in the refrigerator." "Okay." Michael got up and went to their room. He got out his clothes and got in the shower. Katrina got up and made him a plate. She put it in the microwave. She went back to her writing room and typed up her last chapter. She was determined to get it done. She knew she was going to have make it sound real. She knew with all the strength she had, she could do anything.
As time speeded up, Katrina was all over the place. She even started writing a story about two of her ex-boyfriends. Katrina took the time to really go all out. She talked about her thoughts from each one. She used old Facebook messages and she dug for her old phones too. Michael thought it was interesting to see how passionate Katrina was. He knew she could write about anything she wanted. It just took him aback to see her use her full life and want it to be published. He knew how she wanted most things to be fiction. He went along with it though. He knew at the end of the day there was a method to Katrina's madness. Michael watched as Katrina pulled out old journals and told him about all the things, she thought was wrong with her. Michael said, "you have come far since then. You have become a strong woman. I'm glad you don't see yourself as closed off or fragile. You are fragile, but you are not worthless. You have made my life a whole lot better. It was their loss."
"Yes, because otherwise I wouldn't have married you. I know we pretty much do the same thing every day. Of course, that's what everyone in the whole world does. I know at times you want to spice up our bedroom, which is why I like reading those erotica books. It gives me ideas and I like spending time with you. I like knowing I have someone who cares enough to never let me down. You have always believed in me. You have taken the time to let me see former teachers. You have literally stood in line with me, just so I could talk to my favorite author. You have done what they haven't. I love you now and forever. It will never change. Besides you aren't here for just a season." "Yeah. We have been married for only three years. Yet, we still have a long way to go. A doctor and an author married to each other. Who would have thought?" "I know right. We were always put under the stereotype being told writers don't get married and how people don't like them because they tell too much of the truth."
"True. I can admit you do tell the truth a whole lot. I'm shocked to know when you were younger, you would lie." "It's because I knew whether I lied or told the truth, it wasn't going to change anything. Yet, when I became an adult, I had to learn nothing was going to happen to me. I knew I had to accept the fact people were either going to like me or hate me. I still think about that at times. I do know as long as I keep living and focus on our marriage and the tasks, I have in front of me, I will be fine." "Speak the truth. I know you can do it. I'm right here with you. I know you didn't ever get to go to college, but I do know you are very intelligent. Besides, what you do, you don't need a degree for. You just got to keep pushing through the negativity going on in your brain. Be strong and stay strong. You got this no matter what."
