A small taste of heaven.
Despite all the work I’ve had to do, I’ve been having a pretty good week. Yesterday was great. But this morning I had to wake up early again, and I was just so tired I didn’t want to get out of bed. But I did. And I skipped the shower to get a seat in my accounting lecture near an outlet for my laptop. All the way to accounting I have been grumbling about how much I don’t want to be awake and going to accounting. But then, just as my despair hightened and the Tanner Building loomed in my view, I saw a little table with free hot chocolate- complete with whipped cream. It lifted my poor, tired, heavy heart and I felt a small glimpse of heaven. I gained a little skip to my step. I got my cup and to my surprise and pleasure the hot chocolate was perfect- not watery at all. Of course the cream helped. Now I am sitting in my lecture, enjoying a warm cup of cocoa and knowing that today is going to be a great day.
Thank you to Microsoft for providing the chocolate. Maybe if this becomes a pattern I will rescind all the nasty things I have said about you.

This made me laugh a lot. Thank you thank you thank you!
I especially liked the part about rescinding the nasty things you’ve said about Microsoft. That must have been some impressive hot chocolate.
I said maybe. MAYBE. And that’s assuming that it becomes a pattern.
Hey, I own stock in Microsoft. How sweet is that — the unexpected cup of chocolate. Such a blessing. I do wish your holidays are that warm and that sweet and filled with unexpected delights.

I think they were making hot chocolate for us up here too but I didn’t know what they were doing at the time so I didn’t stop by. All I heard was the Christmas music and that was enough to scare me the other way!
