Carnations

Do you ever get that feeling that your day might end up being shitty? Well, I didn't get that feeling. Not today at least. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and happy, full of energy, ready to start the day.

But then I looked outside.

And it was pouring. Hard.

So much for that morning jog, I thought.

So here I am now. Standing in a ginormous line, at my favorite coffee shop " The Creamy Cup", waiting way too long for a cappuccino. I looked up from my phone hoping to see the line evaporate from my line of sight, but as my eyes connected with the back of this old lady's head for the twentieth time in that last five minutes, my hope disappeared. This is going to take forever. After waiting another 20 minutes I finally reached the front of the line.
"Hey girl, how's it going?"
My eyes connected with the one's of my favorite barista and friend Elena.

"I'm good, ready to get back in my large, comfy bed, but good nevertheless."

"That's good to hear. The regular then?"

"Oh Elena, how you know me so well!"

We both laughed and she turned back to the register, calling out my order, and taking the necessary cash from my hands all at the same time. After about five minutes, she handed me my delicious cup of liquid energy. With a quick goodbye and a promise to text me later about her latest date, I was off.

As I stepped out of my favorite coffee shop and started on the route that would take me to my apartment, I thought about what I would do with the rest of my life, what steps I should take, and how I should take them. But, as I started to get the feeling of a headache grow with the thought of paying back my student loans, I decided that for now I'm going to just enjoy my coffee and move on with my dreary day.

I've decided at that moment to take it one step at a time. "My life is my life. And I think I'm grown enough to handle it the way I feel it should!", I think as I snap my fingers in Z formation (in my head of course).

While completing my ridiculous thoughts, I arrive back at my apartment and decide to do some job hunting. I didn't go to school for four years to stay home and do nothing! So, after about three hours of searching I found two jobs that really stood out.

One was a large widely- known marketing firm that was looking for a part-time department manager and the other was a smaller, but still well-known firm that was looking for a full-time role. After calling both and checking the requirements, that I luckily met, I made appointments for interviews for next week.

With my mood considerably risen since this morning I decided to treat myself for all my hard work and went straight for a vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate syrup in the kitchen.

"I am so going to pay for this", was the only thing that came to my mind as I scooped three big scoops of ice cream into a bowl, nearly drowning it in the delicious brown sugary-substance.

Oh well, who needs a good body anyway.

With my delicious treat in hand, I took a seat on my couch and turned on the T.V to watch reruns of "Friends". And after about an hour or so, I grew tired and decided to call it a night. I hopped in the shower, put on my PJs, and got into my very comfortable bed with a resounding "Ahh". I looked over to my right bedside table and saw the time 11:02 PM.

Wow, I really watched T.V for that long? Oh now I'm really going to pay for this in the morning when I'm to lazy to get out of bed, I thought with an eye roll. Soon, I fell asleep with a sweet dream and a hopeful feeling that tomorrow would be an even greater day then today.
