this morning #235.

this morning, the dust had settled. she looked at her surroundings & noticed how it had piled up. it was undoubtedly high time to clean this place up before the various debris rose up & conquered her. plus, she had guests coming this afternoon & didn’t want them to know the way she’d been living lately. it wasn’t like she had let herself go. it was more like she had stopped putting in the necessary effort & it showed. for her, the act of keeping up appearances required a lot of upkeep, so it was time for her to sweep. sweep away the dust. sweep away the torpor. polish up the silverware. polish up her story. get it together just for this once if only for once in a while.
