The Best Part of Today #11:

Waking up to a window bright with reflected light.

Yup, you guessed it (and if you didn't, no worries, because I'm about to tell you.) I wondered why it was so bright when I woke up this morning, especially since the weather forecast had called for clouds and a rainy, "wintry mix." As if playing a joke on us, or more specifically weathermen, Storrs, CT was sugared with snow instead of slathered with slush. It was a two-part joke though, as the fluffy white sheen was soon transmuted into a muddy gray mush, fulfilling the earlier promise for rain. But it wasn't all bad. Before going in to work I normally nab a coffee from the starbucks across and down the street from my office to stave off the 2pm snoozies, but I didn't want to have travel any more than was necessary today. While I was there, I remembered seeing a coffee pot in one of the green room cupboards by the sink and the mini-fridge. For a while, I was too enmired in work to get away and substantiate my remembrance, but when I finally found time to explore, I discovered the pot out on the counter with a full pot already made! It was almost too good to be true when I found an eeyore-shaped mug in the cupboard and half-and-half in the fridge. It would have been too much if the fortuitous circumstances fell cruelly short to only almost everything I needed for my perfect cup of coffee, but I even found two real sugars concealed by heaps of splenda and equal packets. And it didn't cost me a dime.
