Today has been a great day, Michiko thinks to herself. Grabbing her purse as she swings out the door, she waves to Hima when she exits her apartment. Her shoes click a few times as she crosses the street and then hops in Hima's car. Hima looks over to her as she pulls on her seat belt with a bemused smile. "What's got into you?" Hima asks.
Michiko just smiled and said, "I had a great day at work. That is all."
The next day, she woke up almost sideways in her bed. Michiko's eyes seemed glued together, and the alarm was ringing incessantly. Groaning, she rolls over and slaps her nightstand until the alarm stops. Rubbing her eyes, she pushes herself up. She stretches for a few seconds to reach for her glasses. Putting them on, she blink a few times and then yawns. With a tremendous effort, she got out of bed and headed towards the shower. She has about an hour until she needs to be at work.
