I am drinking hot cocoa. It’s not really cocoa. It’s Swiss Miss No Sugar Added Hot Chocolate, a heaping spoonful of Nesquik No Sugar Added (rich in essential vitamins and minerals, and it’s specially fortified with 33% more calcium than milk alone) and a splash of Silk® Soymilk (loaded with healthy soy protein, antioxidants, 11 essential vitamins and minerals) and two soft, sweet, and extra-fluffy, JET-PUFFED® marshmallows.

It doesn’t really taste like hot cocoa at all.

I had such a bitch of a morning that it colored my entire day. I left my house right at 7:00, determined to catch the early train. I’ve been trying to catch this train for weeks yet somehow I miss it. It’s become almost comical. Even when I am right on time or a few minutes early, I watch it pull away without me. This morning was going to be different! I didn’t waste a single motion! Looking at the clock I was giddy! I am going to be early! That is until I practically plowed into the sign that read: road closed. The detour was a joke. It wrapped me all over creation and eventually I passed a completely different train station! This train station is as good as any, I figured. I parked and as I approached the platform, the train pulled up. This is the train I normally catch, just at the earlier station. I waved at the conductor and stepped onto the platform. I raised my arms to pull myself onto the train when I noticed the train moving away from me. WTF!?!?! The train departed without me AS I ATTEMPTED TO CLIMB IN! How is this possible? The conductor saw me! I was right behind another person who got in. Why didn’t he wait for me!? I stumbled backwards. All I wanted to do was sit down and cry. Rummaging through my bag I found the train schedule and noted that another train was due in just a few minutes. I wondered if it might pass by without stopping. My luck returned because the train was on time and it waited for me to climb aboard. I got into work 45 minutes late.

My day wasn’t a bad day. A sale I’ve been trying to close finally came through. Regardless, I just wanted to be 100 miles away. I didn’t want to think about anything. Eventually the day ended and I caught the train home. I had to call Lisa and have her direct me through the maze of unfamiliar roads. She got me to an area that I knew and could direct myself home. It took forever but I did finally arrive back at the Donna villa. I hope tomorrow is better.

Actually, I go to the NYC office tomorrow. It will be a nice change of pace, I suppose. My boss hired a new sales rep and he mentioned that he would like me to sit with the new guy and go over all the things that I have learned. This is going to sound evil but I HAVE NO DESIRE TO TELL SOME NEWBIE WHAT IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO LEARN! No one made it easy for me. No one helped me. Why should I make it easy for this guy? UGH! I even feel evil.
