At 8:00 sharp the gardeners get started on maintaining the greenery out back. Even with my windows closed the room reverberates unholy sounds of leaf blowers and people yelling. There's some light peeking in through the blinds. I roll around for a bit and believed I was back into my REM cycle. A half hour passes and my annoying cell alarm goes off. Fumbling for the ignore option, I snooze for 10 more minutes. By 8:35 I'm mumbling into my pillow and force myself to get up knowing I'm never going to get back to sleep. Grumpy and groggy I try not to slip off the ladder. I land on my feet with a light thud and I'm off to brush my teeth.
End scene of a typical Monday morning.
Today was a little different. I actually woke up earlier than I intended to and decided to bake. Cure the Mondays and bring back that unhealthy optimism for a better day. I already baked peanut butter cookies for UCC Choir yesterday for practice and that brought smiles all around so I figured I'd spread that at the office, too. I'm in a giving kind of mood.
Brownies and M&Ms, how could you go wrong? I baked to my hearts content. While waiting for them to cool I watched some "Big Bang Theory". That just upped my mood like no other. Once the brownies were ready I wrapped them up for Lewis and my co-workers :). Same reaction and more with the brownies. If I could have a career out of keeping people happy and feel loved I'm all for it.
On a note about carpet cleaning, our apartment is finally getting the last cleaning touches it deserves! I feel like a pseudo-Monica-Gellar from "Friends". I wish I was there to help my roommate out. I'd have such a field day. And for other big news, my mom and aunt are coming to visit this weekend so I couldn't be happier! No need for that extra shot of endorphins, 'cause I made them already!
