Laundry

Friday night went on a bit longer than planned. On Saturday morning, my phone alarm went off: “Pick up laundry from the laundry room.” I was still half asleep, so I threw on some clothes and headed down to the communal laundry room.

Drug Test

Today was my first time taking a drug test. Not the fun kind where they try different substances—the kind where you pee in a cup while a nurse watches you like a hawk, then they analyze it to see if you’ve been using. I prepared thoroughly.
