Cookies and Starbucks

Today was an interesting day. I had a good 11 hours sleep. Woke up, went in to the office for a little bit, worked out and then came home. All this was done in a normal happy attitude and mood. It was like there was an invisible mood changing field I walked through when I came in the front door. Suddenly life seemed far less cheery and enjoyable. It was much more dark and cloudy with a thunder storm building. More accurately would be it was as if there was a massive black cloud that blanketed as far as the eye could see, one so dark you can only sit and wait for the thunder and lightening to begin. But for some reason it never does. It stays black and moves over and surrounds and finally rains and rains and rains. So it’s gloomy and miserable. And you don’t even get a thunder and lightening show out of it. So disappointing. You feel like a child, (a heck, not even a child, I still get this feeling…) who got a new toy. This isn’t any ordinary toy, no, it’s the coolest and most fun toy there is.Its a rocket you get to launch into the sky over and over. (by the way, there is an iron man rocket that does just this. BEST TOY EVERY!) But you can only play with that toy outside, and mother nature just isn’t cooperating. You have to stay inside because there is a massive dark cloud looming. So mom says you can’t go out. You can’t go play with your new because she doesn’t want you to get electrocuted. However, after waiting and waiting and waiting there is no lightening. There is no thunder. But then it downpours. Forever. How disappointing. You sit staring out the window gloomily and for that short while it seems like life will never get better. That’s how I felt this afternoon. However, I had no reason as to why. It was sunny, it was Sunday, I had absolutely no obligation to be anywhere or do anything. Why did it suck so much??!?!?! So, I dealt with it like I always do. By removing myself from the outside world and curling up in bed with a movie. 2 hours later this didn’t solve my problem. So I went to step two. Starbucks and cookies. I dragged my ass out of the house and went and got a grande skinny soy hazelnut latte and chocolate chip cookies. Needless to say, I am now feeling decent again and I’m even writing. Now whether it was the sunshine, the movement of the short walk there, the getting out of the house or the items themselves, all I can say is … Coffee and cookies work miracles. J
