Day Twenty-Three

Some people wake up to gentle music carefully selected to gradually pull them to consciousness. Other people start their day with a jarring BEEP BEEP BEEP because they need that jolt to get their heart going. I personally am a gentle music over and over and over again because hi. Hi, my name is Michelle and I like to hit the snooze button. Because I like to hit the snooze button, I have no less than 3 alarms set every single morning. There is always a decent chance that I'll accidentally turn off an alarm when I mean to hit snooze, so I have to trick myself into waking up.

I know it doesn't seem possible to trick yourself, but I definitely can, at least early in the day. Mornings are not my best, to say the least.

Today, though, today I woke up very quickly and I was WIDE awake the second I needed to be. It was because my alarm was a text instead of my usual Shawn Mendes I don't even know what song because I can't think early in the day. Normally I would breathe fire and shoot daggers out of my eyes because someone texted me at 6:30 am, but not today. No, that text was exciting. Genuinely, truly exciting.

So ... let the record show, I am at the age where a text telling me that Target stocked toilet paper overnight is something to get excited about.

Seriously.

I know you're jealous. It's fine. Now that I have acquired a month's supply of toilet paper, I'm willing to share my knowledge with others. I got a text telling me that a Target not terribly far away had allllll of the toilet paper, so I showed up at opening (the second opening - not the one for high-risk individuals because I am not a jerk) to buy my one allowed package, albeit the largest package available.

And I was VERY excited. Like, I told people about it all day.

I'm even blogging about it.

TOILET PAPER. I'm blogging about the fact that I bought TOILET PAPER.

If ever there was a string of sentences that perfectly sum up what 2020 has been all about, that's it up there. That's the story.

Not to brag or anything, but I bought bread and antibacterial soap as well. Big things happened on Day Twenty-Three!

I'm considered high risk, so thank you for not being a jerk.
