I stormed out of bed, and reached on top of the shelf for my pain killers. My head was throbbing so hard and I wasn't able to sleep because of it.

I went back to bed and checked my phone for the time. 2 a.m.. Five more hours to sleep. I placed my phone on top of the bed side table, and drifted back to sleep.

My alarm buzzed and woke me up. I immediately turn it off, and head to the bathroom to take a bath.

Even though, the pain killers lessened the pain, the ache was still there. So, I grabbed a bath bomb, positioned myself in the tub, and let the bath bomb fizz. Ahh..just the fizz of the bath bomb can already calm my body.

Half an hour later, I stepped out of the bathroom and changed into my work clothes. A white button-up shirt, a navy blue blazer, and a pencil skirt with the same color as the blazer.

I wrapped my shoulder length hair into a half bun, and did my makeup. After I gathered all my things, I wore my shoes, and drove to the coffee shop near my house to grab my breakfast.

I go straight to the cashier, to be greeted by the shop's manager. "Good morning, Min!" Bobby greeted in his usual happy voice. "Morning, Bob!" I smiled in return.

I already got familiar with all the workers of this shop, and I think I might say the same with them to me. This is where I buy my breakfast since I started living in this neighborhood a few years ago.

"I figured you'd order the same thing you order each day for the past 2 years. So, I already made your sandwiches, vegetable salad, and a coffee." He beamed.

"Aww... Thanks Bob. You're so sweet." I paid for the food. "Keep the change, say hi to that sweet girlfriend of yours for me." I said. "Okay, thanks. Drive safely!" He shouted as I walked out the door and waved at the other workers I passed.

I grabbed the keys from my pocket and opened my car. I stepped inside and unsealed the sandwiches from their wrappers. I inhaled the delicious smell of the food, and started devouring the food.

After I finished everything, I drove to my office. As I turned into a corner from the cafe, my vehicle halted to a stop, seeing the long traffic.

Waiting for a good thirty minutes, the line haven't moved yet. Knowing that I'm already late for work I tried to call my boss to inform him that I'd be late.

So, I tried to reach my phone from the backseat. As I reached it, I felt my head hurt badly. Good thing is that the traffic started to move. So I was able to find a spot to temporarily park my car.

I massaged my head, but it seems to get worse. So I decided to call my boss and skip work for the day. "Good morning Mr. Lee. Can I take the day off today? My headache seems to worsen, so I need to get a doctor to check it."

Luckily, Mr. Lee was so understanding he even offered their family doctor's number for me. I dialed the number and was answered by the doctor's secretary.

"Sure, Ms. Cha. I would set an appointment for you, for early this afternoon." The secretary replied. "Okay, thank you so much. And could you please send the address of your clinic, so l could go there later." "Will do, Miss." I hung up the phone and went back home to take a rest.

As I drove home, I passed a pharmacy and decided on getting pain killers for the head ache so I went out and bought what I need. Then, headed home.
