OH THE JOY THAT ABOUNDED FROM MY SOUL! now, noelle has had a rough couple months - she broke herself and doctors didn't catch it so she hobbled around for way too long before they finally realized she needed surgery and now her recovery time is like forever and she can't work and she's trying to get into nursing school and it's just a LOT to handle amidst the throbbing and annoyance of a massively swollen lower extremity which is necessary for basically all kinds of normal activity (including driving) so it was a SHOCK to see her up and around in a public place. Ahhhh. we hugged - a good hug - and laughed - and it was GREAT! totally MADE MY MORNING! Starbucks - you are SO GOOD TO ME!

starbucks - it does a body good!
there are days at work that seem to drag on forever (not for any lack of things to accomplish, but just a pure lack of desire to do anything even moderately productive) and then days that are happy in the most unexpected ways. this morning has proven to be quite the delight. jim and kathy are both out of the office today - so i came in KNOWING i have a day to myself to really CROSS STUFF OFF THE (proverbial) LIST! i got a lot accomplished this morning and then at 10am decided we should venture to Starbucks for some artificial rejuvenation (also known as a black tea lemonade). there is a vendor that periodically brings me starbucks gift cards - and now that The Well is open downstairs, we rarely travel to procure coffee type beverages. SO i called Mindy and whispered, "how would you feel about a morning trip to Starbucks, my treat?" and she happily obliged. when we arrived, i asked the kind barista to please add the new gift card to my existing balance and was WIDE EYED when the total was revealed! i can go to starbucks for a free for a WHILE friends! WOOT! then as I headed to the beverage pick up counter, i came face to face with one of my FAVORITE people - my friend in real life: Noelle.OH THE JOY THAT ABOUNDED FROM MY SOUL! now, noelle has had a rough couple months - she broke herself and doctors didn't catch it so she hobbled around for way too long before they finally realized she needed surgery and now her recovery time is like forever and she can't work and she's trying to get into nursing school and it's just a LOT to handle amidst the throbbing and annoyance of a massively swollen lower extremity which is necessary for basically all kinds of normal activity (including driving) so it was a SHOCK to see her up and around in a public place.
