My Source of Sanity Today

The alarm clock goes off at 6 am today. It's Tuesday. That means taking my friend and her darling little afro-haired boy to work and daycare. My bed doesn't want me to stop warming up its belly though...I'll stay in bed a little bit longer. It's 6:30. The next annoying buzzing coming from my phone is not the alarm, but an email from the CMO of my company essentially saying, "Get out of bed, twirp. I've got a whole pile of problems waiting for you to fix today at work." My headache starts. Is it bad that I already want a diet coke? What has corporate America made of me?!! Aren't I supposed to be wanting pancakes and eggs?! A diet coke?! I get to work. I grab a lemonade instead of a diet coke. The CMO calls me into his office for a meeting. I consider trading my lemonade for a diet coke. I come back to my desk, put in my earphones, and listen to Damien Rice. Umm... lovely piece of sanity. Thanks, Damien.
