In Fits And Starts

There's nothing better than sleeping uninterrupted until you wake up naturally. It's the most restful feeling I can think of. It gets even better when you can hang out in bed for a few hours, watching a Law & Order marathon, and eating vegan Ben & Jerry's ice cream. That was my morning. It was a fabulous start to my day. I didn't want to get up. I definitely didn't want to go to work, but I managed to successfully make it out of bed.

Despite not wanting to go, or even get out of bed for that matter, I managed. I was up, dressed, and out the door in time to even stop at Starbucks. The last time I went they forgot about me and made 4 customers behind me their drinks before realizing I hadn't gotten mine, so the associate working promised the next time I came in she'd give me a free drink. Only, they were all out of free drink cards. She said she'd remember, and true to her word, she did. So that last two lattes I've gotten have been free (a star reward and then the appeasement). Caffeine definitely improves my outlook on life. I genuinely do feel better after drinking it. 4 shots of espresso is my lifeblood.

Last night I was convinced today would be harder than yesterday was. This morning I wasn't sure how I was going to make it through the day. This afternoon I considered calling out sick (even though I'm not). Yet, even though I had basically set myself up for failure (and misery), work wasn't bad at all. The day went by so fast, I barely had a chance to dwell on the time. I don't know why it felt like it went by so fast, because it wasn't busy. Not really. Maybe in fits and starts. Overall it wasn't very busy, and Allison and I spent the better part of the evening talking about veganism (she's 1 month into no meat or eggs, and working on totally omitting dairy. I'm kind of surprised, but really proud of her). She had questions and there's nothing more I love than providing the answers. The fact that she chose on her own to try vegan simply by looking at the way I live and the example I set. I don't have to be pushy or demanding for others to notice my compassionate lifestyle. That feels great. So, we chatted about vegan things, and that too made the night fly by... and no shrink! That's such a rare occurrence for me. I'm grateful.

Goodness, I'm feeling so tired. I'm ready for bed. I know I'll sleep well tonight!
