As my eyes begin to flutter open, i give a full body stretch, still intertwined in the sheets.

I feel so refreshed, i wonder what time it is.

I feel around for my phone yawning and rubbing my eyes. I find my phone at the foot of my bed and unlock it. I look at the percentage of my battery, remembering that I hadn't put it on charge overnight.

"23% damn..." i whisper to myself. Then i look at the time.

"10am?! What? I slept for 15 hours?!" I shout flicking the covers off of my naked body

"Hey is everything ok?" Kristen sounds concerned as she runs in through my bedroom door.

"Haha, yeah kristen everything is fine. I didnt realise id slept for 15 fricking hours though, why didnt you wake me?" I ask, quickly covering my exposed skin

"I checked on you this morning, but you looked like you were enjoying your sleep. And I knew you needed it. So I just left you. Good morning!" Kristen giggled as she jumped into my bed

"Oooh, no gross smell of sweat either. You really did sleep well!"

"Yeah i really did" i yawn.

I look around my room, that clearly needs tidying. Where is my hamper? My clothes sleep beside the trash can, papers all over the floor, and my mirror where I hang all of my accessories are spilling out. At the foot of the mirror lays a beauty bag that hasn't been unpacked for 6 months and old readings from college that I promised myself id read scrunched up in a paper bag. I feel like i could be a somewhat productive today

"Im gonna clean today, do the laundry, wash up. Yano, potter around the house" I say as I reach for my anti anxiety meds and place them in my mouth along with a drink of water.

"Yeah sure no probs, i washed up this morning though. But ill help with the rest. Dont forget you have your appointment today at 4 though alright bells?"

Appointment? What appoi...oh shit.

"As if i would forget" i rolled my eyes

"You did, didnt you" kristen laughs. Of course she knows me like the back of her hand

"Er...yah" i laugh back.

"Well, ill remind you again later. Just in case"

"Sure" i start thinking of what's to come

"Hey, and don't overthink it. You'll be ok. Just someone to talk to. And some help. It'll be all good" Kristen reassures me.

"Yeah i hope so. Im going to get up now. I cant look at this room ANYMORE" i say climbing out of my warm comfort that is my bed, placing my feet inside my fluffy slippers.

Kristen gets up too and starts to pick up the laundry off of the floor.

About an hour later, me and kristen were finished with my room.

We stood there for a few moments with our hands on our hips, trying to get our breath back.

"Wowsers i can see the floor" and we laughed together.

"Now for the rest of the house"

We walk out of my room towards the living room.

"Music?" I turn to kristen turning the tv on

"Hell yeah!" She replies excitedly.

Now we're dancing and singing around the living room folding up blankets, putting the scatter cushions on the sofa straight, ive got the polish and cloth in one hand polishing the table and kristen has the vaccum in hers going around the carpet.
