4. Holy shit… did I turn the coffee maker off?!

5. Yes, I did, but did I turn the hair straightener off too?!

6. House will burn down. Why didn't I get the apartment insurance?

7. Mom didn't pick up the phone. Maybe I should call the local hospitals…

8. What's the weather gonna be like? I should have checked. Do I even have an umbrella in the car?

20. Now it just sounds like I farted twice. Damnit.

21. Really need to pee, but am so pee shy right now. Been in this stall for wayyyy too long and people will think I'm pooping. Going to get up and go and come back in half an hour.

22. I brought my lunch, but everyone is going out to lunch. Should I eat my lunch? But then everyone will be going out without me…

23. Is that a gray hair?

24. Not a gray hair, but now I see a freckle that looks funny. Is it cancer?

30. Texted them 10 minutes ago, and nothing back yet. They hate me.

32. They texted back, "OK." (?!?!!?)

33. Can't concentrate on anything until this person emails me back. EMAIL ME.

34. Haven't heard back. Should I have started the email with "Dear" instead of "Hey"?

35. OK, thank the gods, they emailed. It feels like everything will be OK now.

46. ...like, what if ghosts are real, though? Is there one in my room right now? OK, now I'm freaking out.

47. Going to have to take a sleeping pill to fall asleep tonight. Better set THREE alarms this time.
