My apartment was a whirlwind of movement as I got ready that morning. The shower felt invigorating, the water blasting away any lingering sleepiness. I selected my power suit with meticulous care, the fabric feeling crisp and empowering.

I felt like I was humming. The drive to work was a blur of optimistic daydreams. Every red light was just a temporary pause, a momentary hurdle before the inevitable.

I saw my reflection in the car mirror and grinned. Today was going to be great. I simply knew it.
