I shut the window, which was blowing my papers and table doilies around the dining room. My hair was a mess. The papers were tiresome to pick up, but nonetheless, I picked them up. It was twelve thirty, or so that's what my stove's clock said.

"Almost time for work..." I sighed. I slowly walked to my room to retrieve my uniform. I dropped my comfortable nightgown to the floor.

I throw my white lab coat over my arms. Routine settles around me as I sit on my bed, pulling my stockings up. I rubbed my hairless legs. What can I say, that new razor I used last night really works. That's probably the best brand I've used, seeing as it didn't cut me once. I continued to pull up both legs before standing and leaving my room.
