Hazelnut

Today was a great day.

It had everything I wanted, even when I didn't know what that was.

Running errands for yourself is almost therapeutic. You get things done for you so you make the future best for you.

Today was like that, making whatever happens next a little better.

I learned about the next step in this process of leases ending and changes in living arrangements beginning.

Went to best buy.

I know... thats weird. Best Buy is for Dad's and uncles and manic Christmas shoppers, not me in this heat.

But I had some things to get there and it felt so good looking for what I needed.

I was looking for something that will make whatever happens next a little more interesting.

I had a huge craving for dunkin donuts coffee for some reason, so thats what I went to get next.

And to my disappointment, the closest Dunkin has been shut down.

Great.

I guess if I see one I'll stop by... or maybe next time.

So on my way to more errands (well, more like cereal and milk grocery shopping) I found a Goodwill along the way.

I got my honey-nut oats, milk, eggs, and corn pops and headed towards the Goodwill across the street, but NO! I wanted something special for me, and although I haven't done anything to deserve it, I wanted to satisfy the day.

So I kept driving until I found a Dunkin.

The line took forever. Two old ladies ahead of two other people. This better be the best damn coffee I have ever had.

It wasn't, but I took it in stride, and went back to the beacon of reminiscence that is a Goodwill and I looked through everything.

EVERYTHING.

No one was waiting for me and although I had eggs and milk in the hot car..... wait, what...who am I? a grandmother?? Who cares about the freakin eggs and milk?!

I came out with a special illustrated edition of Alice in Wonderland.

A Chicago record album with a fantastic cover.

2 compact discs of 90's glory.

The aspiration to become just like the old lady who was singing of Jesus' grace because her joy was too big for her body to contain.

And still a half full medium cup of Hazelnut Iced Coffee.

Thank God for Tuesday.

And Hazelnut Coffee.
