Good morning, my loves!

Okay, first of all, we hit 1,000 reviews yesterday, which absolutely had me in tears because I'm so overwhelmed by the enormous amount of love this story has received. I don't know about all of you, but going through this story with you has helped me start processing the last year of my life, and though there have been tears for me, there have been so many laughs since we started this. So thank you, all.

Thank you Fran S. Sunflower & DaniDarlingxx for being on this journey with me as well.

Day 6: March 18, 2020

Los Angeles, California

I'm working in the dining room, trying to answer my emails for work. School may be canceled, but I'm still expected to check-in at the office. I'm technically part-time still, but I've been there for years now, and I've been taking on a lot more responsibility lately. It's great, but it's also a tremendous amount of work.

I wasn't scheduled to come in much this week, though, so the transition hasn't been bad. I've been instructed to stay home and work from here. When I mentioned moving to my boss, he'd given me the week off to get sorted. It's been nice not to worry about work this week, but since classes are canceled, I know my priority will be work come Monday. I want to make sure I'm caught up before then.

Working in the dining room isn't ideal. It's loud, and Emmett keeps shouting at the TV, distracting the hell out of me. We're going to have to figure something else out, or I'll never be able to do this.

There is a loud thump, and then Bella is swearing so hard, I have to stop what I'm doing to look up and check on her. She's stumbling away from the stairs, swearing a constant stream as she hops on one foot, her other foot cradled in her hands. Her hair is a mess around her head, and she has makeup smeared down her face.

I have to bite my lip to not laugh out loud, watching her. She's still wearing the glittering dress from the night before, though now it's rumpled.

I want to call out to her, just to tease her, but I think she might actually come and rip my head off if I try, so I keep my mouth shut. I know Bella well enough to know when not to fuck with her.

"Hey, Sleeping Beauty!" Emmett booms as Bella hobbles into the living room. There is a tremendous crash, and I hear Emmett swear. I start to stand to make sure they are both still alive when Bella appears again. She has a mug of coffee in her hands, though by now, I'm sure it's gone cold, and a bottle of Advil. She takes a giant slug, swearing as she pops some pills in her mouth. She disappears upstairs again before I can say anything to her.

We are definitely going to need a home office here.

Oh Bella is feeling her partying hard. Tomorrow we're going to see first hand how that hangover is treating her!

Much love to you all!
