You wake up, you feel blue for whatever reason. Half-asleep you punch snooze on your cellphone, which has been alarming for a couple of seconds. You smile at the good morning text message waiting for you.
Much to your chagrin your mother opens the door and enters your room, bellowing you to wake up. It’s 9 am. It’s already late, your mom claims. You zip your mouth, but you mumble, “I’m not a morning person.”
The whole day that started off with a smile just turned gray. But then the text message you got earlier made you happy. Happy enough to help with chores. You are never accustomed to do household chores, but for this day, you decide to do so.
As everybody knows, you know how to cook and clean the house. You pretty much do good at anything, but you only do it when it’s necessary. No, it’s not laziness you say to yourself, you just don’t want to hassle yourself with something some other people already do. In fact, if you clean the house, your mom will just start cleaning all over.
So you decide to help with the cooking. But while preparing for the ingredients, your mom bellows again, like a giant bell resounding over and over again. This time she talks about what a lousy person you are. You shut your ears, it’s something you’ve mastered to do. The task of frying fish is cheesecake for you, meaning it’s something you could do easily. You managed to fry the fish.. but then, since you’re really not in the mood, the fish sticks to the pan. You couldn’t care less. You were horrified (you could pretty much fry a fish so you wonder what went wrong), but then apathy crawled in. You don’t care, you’re not going to eat.
Meanwhile, your sister also gets a verbal beating when she tried to reheat last night’s dish. Mom takes over the cooking and continues with the sermons. Both of you shut up and (surprisingly) your sister went to her room and claimed she lost her appetite.
Before your day gets any cloudier, you went back to your cellphone. Sure enough another text message was waiting for you. You smile again. You’re thankful somebody appreciates you and manages to love you despite your imperfections. You reply back with an apology for being too stingy. A bad day’s a bad day, but you should let it get the best of you. You decide to let the bad day to pass. It will be over soon.
