Her hands moved quickly, demonstrating the process with an almost frantic energy. It was like she was trying to get all the information out before she forgot something. She felt a giggle bubbling up from her chest, threatening to erupt. The mundane tasks, the annoying colleagues, the endless meetings – all of it seemed utterly insignificant, irrelevant. She felt like a balloon, ready to float away.
