"Didi get up, we tryna get to the mall early before they get packed. You know everybody gone be tryna do some last minute shopping today." I heard making me groan. Damn, it felt like a bitch ain't even get a good five minutes of sleep.
I felt the covers get yanked off of my body making me sigh. She gone make me beat the fuck out of her. "Damn Nya, i'm up".
"Took you long enough", she mumbled, laughing at my distress. I got out of bed stretching and yawing. Normally I would've put up a bigger fight but I know that she was right about how it was going to eventually get packed if we didn't head out early enough.
I walked into my bathroom with a somewhat attitude still. Ugh, I feel like I got hit in the back with a bus. I'm almost guaranteed that the reason I feel like this is because I didn't go to sleep until late last night. Around 3 some. So I tried to suck up my attitude cause I knew that it was no ones fault except mines.
But anyways, I grabbed my toothbrush out of my protector and grabbed the toothpaste also. I opened the cap and squirted a good amount of it onto my brush. I grabbed my tiny little sand timer that I've had since I was little and flipped it over. I watched the remaining amount of sand sprinkle to the other side before I flipped it again.
I precisely brushed my teeth throughout, waiting as the timer took its precious little time to finish. When the sand was finally all the way on the other side I put my hand under the water and cleaned my mouth. I gargled a few sips of Listerine and spit it out into the sink. Whew that shit was spicy.
I put the hot sink water in my mouth to clean it out which immediately made me gag. I don't know if it's just me but I hated when toothpaste or mouthwash got in contact with hot water. It just didn't feel right nor taste right to me. Call me weird but I just couldn't stand it. Like ew, hot toothpaste. And the mouthwash just simply burned when you used hot water right after.
After I was done I bent down, opening my bathroom cabinet to get a face cloth. I also grabbed me a bar of dove soap and my spin brush while I was down. That reminded me, I needed to go to Walmart and restock on my hygiene supplies cause I was running low. And I also needed to get me some more cetaphil.
I knew in about 30 minutes Nya would come in here rushin me so I only spent a couple minutes on my face.
As predicted, Nya came busting in my room. "Indy you got bout 25 minutes until we bout to go. Probably less than that cause we wanna go get breakfast."
I looked at her with a frown, "Ok Nyny. I just got to put on my clothes anyways." She looked at me and nodded before walking out. Damn, I really couldn't get a break. I'm glad I took a shower the night before because lord knows that I would've taken centuries.
Finally going back into my room, I pick out a quick and simple outfit for me to wear. It consisted of a long sleeved, brown fitted dress and a pair of sandals. I put on my 'I' necklace and I put on the stack of bracelets that I routinely wore and my apple watch.
I turned around when I heard my loud as cousin Rondo come into my room. "I want a church girl, that go to church. And read her bibleee", he screeched. I cover my ears playfully at his horrible singing. He laughed at me before plopping on my bed.
