i’m discount worthy :) | October 7, 2009

I just have to write this,  out of nearly desperate gratitude. I woke up this morning, skipping my one hour Arabic class (I know, I know) to come to Starbucks for a mental health  morning. (And to surf the web for puppies to my heart’s content. In case no one has heard, Grant said I’m getting one when I get home.) I’m waiting outside Starbucks,which doesn’t open here until 9 AM—soooooo Arab, and when the guy finally gets here to open the shop I scuttle right over to my usual little table with the outlet. By the time I go up to order, he’s made my cafe mocha (in a mug, extra whipped cream), and rings me up as a “discount customer”. I nearly cried it made me so happy. Such a small thing, but I wanted to give him a big big big medal for showing kindness, and making me feel a bit less alone. O Happy Day, with a discounted cafe mocha in the morning, the possibilities await!
