I slid my legs across the bed, then downwards, gradually allowing the soles of my feet to touch the floor. Slowly and deliberately, I steadied myself, and shuffled into the bathroom. I reached between the shower curtain and wall, turned on the water, and then stepped into the shower to wash away the funk and formalities of the previous evening. Ohhh, headache.
