If it wasn't for some knocking at my bedroom door, I might have stayed asleep until morning. I kind of wish I could have, at least then one day would be over and done with. And everything always looks brighter in the morning - at least that's what my mom would tell me. Another knock at the door has me rolling off the bed and stumbling to open it. I smell the food before I even unlock the barrier between me and the meal.
