Chapter 12

Abstract

Prilly pulled herself out of bed at noon on New Year’s Day only because she was sweating; still wearing the oversized sweatshirt she bought the night before. She also had to pee badly. She actually thought about just going in the bed but knew she would regret it shortly thereafter. She slowly walked to the bathroom and while sitting on the toilet she pulled the sweatshirt over her head and threw it on the floor in the corner behind the door. She left the bathroom without flushing the toilet or washing her hands. Shoulders slumped, she shuffled back into her room where she opened her dresser drawer and pulled out an old pair of gray yoga pants and a matching long-sleeved cotton shirt.
