The sun peaked through a second story window spilling onto my, once, sleeping form. Lifting a hand, lazily, I grumble as I try to shield my sleepy eyes from the sun’s glare.
        I knew I should have fought harder for blinds. I grumble to myself, as the curtains flow away from the open window. I sigh as I turn away; trying to catch a few more winks of sleep before finally giving up and pushing the blankets off of me. It was useless, anyways. I had, actually, been awake since before the suns arise. I could never get used to sleeping alone and I had done just that. The usually occupied area, beside me, was void of my lover, Nicole. I decided, long ago, I really hated business trips. Especially, ones that lasted whole weekends.
        Walking barefooted to the bathroom in our bedroom I am suddenly reminded of how freighting cold a hardwood floor can be in the wee hours of the morning as I begin to dance my way to the rug.
        That’s it, I'm carpeting this whole room and the damn windows¦ Okay, well maybe not the windows. That’s kinda... .Smiling to myself, and how idiotic I must seem talking to myself, I finally reach my destination. I guess I could use a shower. I say as I laugh at my reflection in the mirror, Don’t think Nicole wants to come home to a greasy monkey for a wife, eh?
        Fresh from the shower, dressed, and ready for the day, I head downstairs and into the spacey kitchen and opt for a bagel for breakfast. Well it wasn’t really what I wanted, but I was being too lazy to cook and no matter how many times I opened and closed the refrigerator, the Fridge Fairy still refused to place a plate of eggs and French toast on any one of the shelves. I decided she was being stingy and lazy too¦ So a bagel with cream cheese it was.
        What to do today? I ask Twinkle Toes, our pet hermit crab, as I plop down on the couch in the living room. Twinks, my nick name for him, lived in a little glass tank in the living room and he just poked his head out from within his shell and stared at me as he side stepped his way towards a piece of bread, courtesy of me. I agree Twinks
