I was late. Plain and simple.
This morning was not going according to plan.
“Cleo! I told you not to go this way! Your stupid short cuts don’t always work you know” my brother groaned from the passenger seat.
“Not HELPING! Please, for the love of whatever higher power that is out there, would you PLEASE just shut up because I was NOT expecting construction. Do me a favour and quit harassing me, or you can get out and walk” I snarled in reply. I was fuming at this rate. Nothing was going right, and after the wake up call I had, I was ready for this day to be over and it hadn’t even started yet.
