'I wake up to 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' by Whitney Houston and, weirdly, start grooving in my bed. My girlfriend, L, is in the other room & tells the Google Home to stop. I grouch at her because I was dancing to it. She asks Google to turn it back on.'
8:15 a.m. — I use the Quip toothbrush I bought yesterday in Buffalo. I'm super-excited to finally take care of my teeth. I've forever had gum issues and got a root canal last year. It was traumatizing, and I never want to experience it again. I put on sunscreen, do my makeup, and take my vitamins .
8:15 a.m. — I wash my face with a Drunk Elephant cleansing bar, then apply a Paula's Choice exfoliant and CeraVe moisturizer. I grab iced coffee from the fridge and wander around the house, forgetting what I was doing. Nope, I'm still not a morning person. 10:45 a.m. — My co-workers and I are going to a Blue Jays game at 12:30 p.m. I chow down on my prepped lunch and pack an apple for the road.
6:45 p.m. — L and I walk for bubble tea. I get a fresh milk version with brown sugar tapioca, and L gets the same thing but with custard. We drink it while walking up a very steep hill to the gym. My thighs start to hurt. Clearly I need to go to the gym.7:15 p.m. — I do the stair climber for 10 minutes before moving on to overhead presses, deadlifts, dumbbell rows, and a quick sprint on the treadmill.
12:30 p.m. — I drop L off at her part-time hustle and am laying on the couch with Netflix when an unknown number calls me. I'm hesitant, but I pick up the phone. Someone on the other end says my name. It's my aunt. I hang up immediately. I ran away from home three years ago, and have never looked back. My mother is very religious and started harassing me when she found out about my relationship with L. I was so stressed and anxious that I needed to leave.
2:35 p.m. — They're gone. L updates me on the situation. Turns out my mother was there as well. They bullied their way into my home, telling L that they wouldn't leave. My mother has apparently bought me a cruise to Croatia so that I can go on a pilgrimage with her, even though we haven't spoken in months. This infuriates me. On the way home, I kid you not, it is raining and a car splashes me. I swear at it and accidentally end up yelling profanities in front of a child.
