My day starts when the sunlight pokes through the opening in the curtains. It gently shines on my face, causing my eyes to flutter open. I stretch and take a look at the clock. 8:02. My husband has already left for work. I stretch out across the whole bed as I decide what I want to do today. I start to think about my husband’s comment from last night, telling me that he figured out his favorite color. He’d said it was dark blue- the color dress I wore on our first date. An idea hits me, and I decide that I want to surprise him.
I slip into a pair of jeans and an old t-shirt of his and get ready to leave the house. As I leave, I make a mental checklist of all the things I need to do today. I drive out of my neighborhood and head for some coffee before going shopping.
