I'm getting dressed!
It was Simone's birthday. She had just finished exercising and was in the process of changing into her street clothes.
When the phone rang at 7:30 am, she raced to answer it, mindful that the ringing not wake her sleeping mother-in-law. It wasn't a well-wisher, however. It was someone cancelling an appointment later in the morning due to a sick child.

"I'm getting dressed!" she screeched.
