One of the things that has changed after I became a vampire is my routine. Instead of waking up early in the morning I wake up once it’s night. I’m still not good at waking up. I’ll linger around in my bedroom, scrolling on my phone, until I shuffle to the bathroom. I still brush my teeth, but now I clean my fangs too, I clean my face, and shuffle back to my room to pick out my outfit. I’m not a fashionable vampire yet, though I have been putting some thought into my outfits lately. I do have the time now. Another new thing in my routine is checking the messages Tommy leaves me during the day. After I respond to the meme or video he sent me I go grab my breakfast blood then pack some more for lunch. I make sure I have my purse and work bag then I’m out the door. One thing that hasn’t changed is traffic that’s still bad, but I can catch up on my podcasts while I’m driving to work. I can’t complain too much. I got a nice job that’s only thirty minutes away from my townhouse in Midtown. You know one day I’d love to get a pet. I’m thinking of a fish or a lizard. I’ll make up my mind one day. Maybe I’ll ask one of my coworkers I’m sure they’ll have some suggestions.
