Es Schneit!!

I worked this morning. Coffee for people. Lattes, Mochas, Large to go, Medium Mill Mountain and a everything bagel toasted with cream cheese to go, coffee for here and a sesame seed bagel EXTRA TOAsted with cream cheese and butter. So tired of this. Allman Bros. playing. Coffee and a peanut butter english muffin to get me through. Work was obnoxious. Something that got in the way of my sleep like a loud neighbor or having to get up to pee five mintues before your alarm went off. That was work for me today. I came home and felt exactly how I wanted to. Cup of coffee, then a cup of tea. Flight of the Conchords on TV. Relaxed, on Spring Break. Recliner time. Warm oatmeal and tea on a cold rainy day.

Snowing now, up in my room. I feel warm, like in my fort. My day will be interrupted by my dream of work in the morning. All I think about is what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow. The only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. Sausage, Egg and and Cheese. Everything bagel with cream cheese? Cappuccino? the smell of coffee reminds me of why I work at a coffee shop at all. The reason I've always loved it. I feel like I'm part of a thousand year old tradition, serving coffee to the cold, tired and hungry masses, eating depression-bagels and talking about how much better it's going to be. I can stand back and watch the documentary as its happening. people talking about the Bail-out and Obama's new budget. I stay informed and opinionated through these people's conversations. But for now, I already long for those mornings getting a coffee and a cruller on the way to class in the cold rainy morning. There's something about this moment that feels good. It feels like I am where I should be; moving forward in the right direction.

Oh and by the way, it's snowing for the first time all winter....
