What happened when I acted like my husband

This morning I hit the snooze button and fell back asleep for fifteen minutes before I took a shower. Then I spent half an hour in the bathroom where I took my time and put on more makeup than usual, dried my hair, and even curled it. As I stood in my closet contemplating which shirt to wear, I checked my phone for the weather but found myself navigating my Facebook feed for ten minutes before I got back on track. I put on earrings and a necklace today, a change since I don’t normally wear any to work because I am always rushed in the morning.
