A terrifying nightmare gave me a panic attack. I couldn’t fall back asleep after jolting awake at 2:00 am.

To calm my nerves, I decided to read a book, but I couldn’t focus on the words. Resorting to plan B, I decided to make some hot cacao to warm and soothe myself.

However, to my dismay, the cacao tin was empty. Frustrated, I opted for a relaxing bath instead. As I stepped into the tub, I slipped.

By the time morning rolled, I was fuming.

Little did I know, the day had more frustrations in store.

On my way to a family function, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Road assistance turned down my request due to the high volume.

I was left shivering in the cold.

Luckily, I finally managed to hail a taxi after an hour.

By now, a migraine had kicked in. So I asked the driver to swing by any drive-through for a hot beverage. To my dismay, the line was so long that it would have cost me at least 30 minutes.

I decided to abandon the coffee mission and head straight to my relatives.
