Sunrises (sensory detail assignment)

I woke up to the sound of my caramel-colored corgi barking at Sylvester, my chubby, coin colored hamster. Feeling a bit groggy I stand up.

"Felix, shush! He's just a tiny hamster he can't hurt you."

I look at the clock and it says, 4:30 am. I won't be able to drift back to sleep again so I decided to slip my pearl-colored velvety slippers on and stroll into the bathroom. I squeeze my jet black charcoal toothpaste on my toothbrush and clean my pearly white teeth.

After finishing my morning routine I decide to stay in my soft and cushy pajamas, and sit outside and watch the sky change colors as the sun rises. I walk over to the Keurig and grab a coffee cup and pop it in. grabbing a slate-colored mug I place it down and press the middle button on the coffee maker. I fill a royal blue colored bowl with Felix's favorite feast as the coffee slowly drizzles into my mug. Smiling, I watch Felix devoure his breakfast. Pouring creamer into my coffee I watch as the black color of the coffee slowly starts to convert to a caramel-like color. Smelling the sweet smell of my cup of joe, I saunter outside.

I feel a cool breeze wash over me and I take a breath in feeling the crisp air fill my lungs. As I exhale I watch the leaves on the trees dance to the sound of the wind. The sound of the crickets singing their songs starts to die down. The birds start to wake up from their slumber and start to sing songs. And orange hue starts to fill the horizon as the sun finally starts to emerge. I take a sip of my caramel flavored coffee and sigh at its heavenly taste. The sky starts to light up as the sun finally decides to shine, telling the moon to go somewhere else. I see a little kid pick a matured dandelion and blow off all the clouds like seeds. I watch them meander around as they all slowly float to the ground finding a place to plant themselves. I feel the warm rays of the sun wrap me up like a blanket. The cotton candy-like clouds show themselves, and I wonder how it would feel if it was possible to sleep on them. I look down at my phone and realize it's almost time to go to work.

I zoom inside and throw on my dark blue scrubs and jump in my black SUV and drive to the hospital. As I walk in I smell the sanitized smell of the building and walk over to the nurses' station to check-in for my new day work.
