The blaring sharpness of the alarm sounds
Under the grey blue of the morning light
One more minute, I mumble
The chirpy melody continues
With immense speed
I dash toward the desk
Eyes filled with sleep
Grab the phone
Quick
Swipe
Joyous peace and quiet
I tumble back into bed
The warmth of the blanket enveloping
However
Sleep has evaded me
I peek over the blanket at my phone
Check
Emails
Check
Check
Check
Emails
Again
Frustrations mounts
Anxiety sneaks its way into 8am
Abruptly
I get out of bed
Where is Be?
Slowly I creep into the loft
Oh there he is
Staring straight at me at landing one
My sweet Be
I quickly descend
Ruffle his head fur
Kisses and snuggles ensue
Then onward to the kitchen
Open fridge
Brita
Out
Water
I shuffle over to the cabinet
Automatic hands
Take vitamins.
My day has begun.
