Today I’m thankful for an extra 6 ounces of iced coffee.

I >>try<< not to stop for coffee on my way to work. But, sometimes I fail.

At home I decided that I didn’t want coffee this morning. I love coffee, but don’t necessarily drink it every day. I wasn’t feeling it today, so I didn’t make myself any. However, by the time I was ¾ of the way to work I had changed my mind. I needed coffee. Good thing there’s a McDonalds not far from my school. I drove through and got my standard order – a medium iced coffee, no flavor, no liquid sugar, extra ice. But when I pulled up to the window the employee handed me a large. She only charged me for my medium, but had accidentally made a large.

I certainly didn’t need 22 oz. of iced coffee. Heck, I didn’t even really need my regular 16, but who am I to turn down a free upgrade? I am not certain if it was the extra little jolt of caffeine that made my day great or if it was just the stroke of good luck that set my day off to a fantastic start, but either way I’ll take it. I desperately needed to get back into the groove at school, after early release days and parent/teacher conferences and Halloween and then the sugar-crashing Halloween hangover phase; and thanks to the friendly McDonalds’ lady and her mistake, I was a movin’ and a groovin’ today!
