Sweet Dreams

MIKAYLA

I wake up the next morning in my own room in my apartment in the city. I must say that it feels good to be home and not somewhere wet and cold on a plane. But something is different this morning. It is not that easy to just get up take a shower and go to work. I have this damn cast that I have to work with.

So, I slowly get up and get used to the pain. I make my way to the shower but first I need to cover my cast with plastic. It takes me about an hour to just take a shower and I am already tired. I take hold of my crutches and I know that today will be challenging.

I got myself a cab to take me to work and when I arrive, Jen is waiting for me. Her expression on her face is priceless. She almost runs my way to help me.

"So, you were not joking when you said you hurt your ankle?"

"No, no joke about that and let me tell you, it is irritating"

"I wanted to say you looked really uncomfortable"
