Day 11.

It did rain today. Not surprising. Last night the sky was black black black and scattered with dark clouds. If you can tell that there are clouds in a pitch dark sky.
I walked to the coffee shop today. It's only 1 1/2 miles. Not too bad. And I won't lie. I did jump in a puddle or two on the way there. Who can resist playing around in rainboots? Not this girl.

I guess the sky was lying. Because I did not have a bad day. In fact, it was beautiful. Even though it was pouring.

The manager was a grouch. 'Miss no whip, non-fat milk, soy latte' is on vacation. In Hawaii. For 3 weeks. I think if I wasn't lucky, I would have been fired today.
Total mistakes: 69
Total customers: 35
That bad.
I ruined 17 mochas today.
But I also helped someone's love life.

That's right. I helped my manager, the man who has a crush on me. I helped him fall more in love with a woman I don't even really know.
For 3 hours I listened to him talk about her hair. Ugh. I think I almost died. But in the end, he didn't notice my mistakes.
And he gave me a $0.25 raise.
Score.
Nobody rained on my parade this morning.
And I think my manager no longer has a crush on me.

But that distracting angel is gone for 2 more Wednesdays.
More ugh.
If I have to hear about her hair for a single moment longer...


On another note, Jack and I went for a walk when we got off from work. Carrying dark roast coffee while it was raining cats and dogs. We sat underneath our umbrellas on the edge of a bridge and talked about Sullivan.
He and Jack have been best friends since they were 6 years old.
I love that.
I love spending time with Jack.
He makes me laugh so much.
And he loves Sullivan.
I think that's why I love Jack.
It feels good.
Sitting with him and just talking and laughing.
I think he's my best friend too now.

Perfect.

What say you to little brown mary-janes tomorrow?
I like.
TOMORROW IS SULLIVAN DAY.
