TM Prompt #25 What's a Typical Day for You?
My days are pretty much the same. I like that. I like knowing that Stella wakes me up at 8 with tickles and giggles and snuggles. Cause between you and me? After only five, usually more like four hours of sleep my daughter is the only force on earth that can drag my tired ass out of bed.
Once I get a shower and dressed I like making breakfast for whoever is around, Daddy and Uncle and Stella. I love to cook, not just spell some tinned shit hot, but go to the market and pick out what looks best and do it all by hand. My Mom always cooked that way and I remember thinking it was the best kind of magic. 'Course that doesn't mean I do dishes by hand...what? Do I look like a house elf? Pfft.
After breakfast and about three cups of coffee, {That's right I said COFFEE damn it!,} then comes the funnest part of my day: Stella and Izzy's Big Adventures. The best part of owning my own pub is that someone else has to open up and do lunch while me and Stella go out and try things we've never tried before. How else would I know that bubblegum flavored ice cream is one of the most perfect things in the world? Or that Stella is a natural on horseback? Or I'm not too bad on ice skates...(after the first ten falls on my butt). Stella's just the best pal a girl ever had, and the best daughter any mother has ever had in the history of the world. She makes me laugh and *bounce* and all the good things. If I ever have errands to run etc, where Stella can't come my Dad or Uncle will go adventuring with her. Sebastian too when he can. Of course they all spoil her shamelessly.
Around dinner time we wander over to the Snake & Bird and have dinner in my office. After dinner we do bath, books and bed.
Then I do books, inventory, make sure all the rooms upstairs have what they need and settle in at the bar, or a table nearby and just - sit really.
It's the worst part of my day. It's lonely even in a pub filled with people. Sometimes there's a diversion, a little flirting, a couple of drinks, but it's fleeting and at the end of the night I'm the one locking up cause everyone else has someone to go home to. I take Stella and we floo home. Tuck her in, it's almost dawn and I crawl into a cold bed to start my day over again.
