Oh Morning Joy

I am now part of the working class world once again. It does no good to complain. Actually I am blessed to have the ability to work and to know that I am making a difference, even a small one. I get up at 4:30 am. I could sleep in some more but this gives me time to take care of a few things like personal hygene ( I often wonder how important this one is concidering where I work), feeding the cats, packing lunch, reading emails, making coffee in this handy "heat the water and pour it through the filter" coffee maker and now my newest ritual which is the following:
I found this most excellent espresso maker on clearance the other day and figured that they put it there just for this working girl! Now when I am up before sane people even roll over I tell myself it will all be worth it in a few minutes, hit the on switch and wait for the thick heavenly dark liquid to drip out, nector from Mother Earth to wake the sleepy Queen. No more regular coffee with cream. Nope, I get all the works cause hey it is for me and I am worthy of it!!!

I make a double shot of espresso, warm a shot of vanilla and a shot of hazelnut, froth my milk, pour it all in my "yes you can have your coffee on the road cup" and I am beyond coherent when I get to work, I am actually smiling. Yepper, The Red Queen is blessed indeed!!! I hope you are blessed today also and anytime you want to share a cup Mother Earths finest I'm up early!!!
