It's over
I should have known.
I was too late.
It's all over.
Again.
Yes, I did it again. After last year, you would think I would have known better but I just couldn't imagine I'd miss it again. Is that even a sentence? I missed my last Eggnog Latte again at Starbuck's. It was over officially I think today but at my particular store it was over a couple of days ago. I guess when they stop sending out the eggnog the party is over, at least for the eggnog latte lovers. The caramel brulee is gone too although I don't like that one. So, I just ordered my regular drink and the barista tells me that there is no mocha. "What?" I say. "No" he says, no mocha in the whole area. Is a male coffee maker guy a barista too or is that the feminine term. I need to look that up--or maybe I'll ask them, they should know. Something went wrong with the shipment or something. "You're kidding right?" I say because they just told me there is no eggnog, they can't possibly mean I can't have my usual comforting coffee and creamy goodness drink. But no they were not kidding, he tells me people have stomped out in a huff because they couldn't have their regular drink. I'm not that fanatical so I just order a caramel machiatto. It didn't really ruin my day but it did throw it off a little. Every time I took a drink I was surprised, like "Whoa what is this?" but it was ok. Sometimes we need to shake things up a little, take a different route to work or brush your teeth with the opposite hand. That's what some psychologists say but I'm not sure I really agree. There is something to be said for comforting routine. Just knowing that you don't have get lost on the way to work or splatter toothpaste all over your face or have to figure out what to drink is comforting in a non rut kind of way. We have enough decisions and choices to make. I really hope the mocha is back tomorrow.
See you in a week.
