one of those days...

this is how i felt at approximately
four a.m. last night,
slaving away on this project.

after 1½ hours of sleep,
i eagerly stepped into the shower...
only to find out that
the shower head was broken,
and my usual blast of warm water was reduced to nothing but a trickle.

went to work with the kiddies at the elementary school.
came home to make myself some lunch,
and almost fell asleep while eating it.

seriously considered skipping my 2.30 pm french lit class...
but my motivated student self wouldn't let me.
so i dragged my tired little hiney to class,
only to find out that it was
cancelled.
you have got to be kidding me.

at that point i felt like dropping to the ground
and sleeping on the university's cold unsanitary linoleum.
and never waking up.

but....
if i had opted for for the linoleum floor,

i would have never popped over to my brother & sister-in-law's for a
quick snooze
on the couch before my next class.

and i would have never thought about
how much i appreciate those places where you can drop by
unexpected, unannounced, and just pull up on their couch,
no questions asked.

and i would have never experienced the pleasure ofmy dear little niece coming over and giving me a
warm gooey banana chocolate chip muffin
{straight out of the oven}
and a
lovely little kiss.

and i would have never had the chance
to enjoy the stunning combination of
louis armstrong belting out cool yule
and the shining sun streaming in
on my drive back to school.

i guess all's well that ends well right? {photo taken by me this summer during my blissful road trip in washington state}
