I woke up today feeling a little gnarly… and not in that “I’m from southern California” kinda way, but in a more “Ick. My mouth tastes feels like a wool sweater” kinda way.

TMI?

I couldn’t find my keys, I had to tidy up my apartment for tonight’s unanticipated (but totally welcome, TF) overnight guest, most of my clothes desperately need a dry clean, etc. You get what kind of morning I mean.

But then, things began to look up. My doorman complimented my coat. I walked outside, and there was a bus waiting for me… and it was fairly empty (I could sit anywhere I wanted!). A certain reporter I like to “stalk” (I swear I’m using that term lightly) was on my bus. I walked into the ‘bou for my daily coffee fix, and the kick-ass manager there gave me my drink for free. FREE! Because I’m a loyal customer and he said it’d been a while since he has treated me.

I know it’s not much, but it’s the little things that make life a little easier to deal with. So I’m going to embrace it and maintain it as long as I can.
