Breathe

6:30 am, alarm goes off. BEEP BEEP BEEP..."ssshhhhhhhh", I moan at it. As if this will majically make it stop. I'm too tired this morning. Wait...haven't I said this every morning this week? I roll out of bed hazily as I grunt to myself for staying up too late watching Grey's Anatomy. I mean I have DVR for a reason!
7:45 am, chopping up veggies for lunch and packing other foods for dinner at school. Squeezing out the mayo for tuna salad I realize its almost empty, I text my roommate its her turn to buy as I put the container in the correct bin for recycling to avoid a misdemeanor.
8:30-8:45 am ( depending on the day), with my arms filled with my lunch bag, purse, bookbag, and garbage bag from the past few days, I finally head out the door. My back is killing me, I think as my textbooks are weighing me down. I wonder whats doing with my Insurance? I meant to call the chiropractor to see if they'll cover more treatments...I better do that during my lunch break. Breathe.
9:00 am, so starts my workday. With my steaming cup of coffee in hand I sit down at my desk and read over all the notes of things that need to be done today. Call Insurance companies, they didn't pay correctly for this claim...John Smith wants to know if he can come in earlier for his followup, find out what time the Dr. will be back in from surgery and if it's earlier call him and give the ok...fax a copy of all medical notes regarding Jane Sawyer to the lawyer, she's suing her job because worker's comp failed to pay her bill...check phone messages/emails...confirm appointments/pull charts...where the heck is Jane Sawyer's chart? I know I saw it yesterday during billing? Breathe.
3:00 pm, rush out the door from work. Shoot, I left my cell phone on my desk. As I run back to get it I wonder if there will be traffic on the Cross Island today. I can't be late for my first Anatomy and Physiology exam, what will my professor think? I think he has it out for me anyway so whats the difference? Breathe.
4:00 pm, YAY! I made it! Take that New York drivers ;)
6:15 pm, trudging up the stairs to my English class, why did they put me on the 4th floor???
Breathe. Oh wait, I cant!
8:00 pm, class is finito! Time to go home...where did I park? Oh yeah, all the way down the street because they're doing construction to make it look prettier here. I have a construction idea...build more parking!
9:00 pm, "Honey I'm home", I call to my roommates playfully. I dump my bags on the couch, throw my coat over the chair and remove my wet snow covered boots. I walk into my room and grin at the site of my penguin pajama pants, sticking out from under my rumbled comforter. I'll change in a minute, I think to myself as I fall onto my big bed. For now I just breathe.
