no good morning to you, McDonald's.

I have a few morning complaints and I'm going to tell you about them.  I will start with what comes to mind first.  McDonald's, why did you have to put your sugary syrup junk in my iced coffee after my request that you do not? The nice lady repeated my request back to me so I thought it was clear that I find your sugary coffee syrup to taste like bunk.  I was looking forward to your breakfast really giving my day a kickstart and, while my oatmeal and hashbrown were truly delightful, your messing up my morning dose of caffeine quickly negates that. If you weren't so delicious I would boycott you for this. 

Let's backtrack a little.  Yesterday I spent a lovely day horse showing in Leesburg. I was able to escape the huge rainstorm that came through until we stepped into our final class and another downpour began. The drive home wasn't especially comfortable despite my best efforts at a warmer/drier outfit - I rocked my attractive wet/muddy breeches, sneakers, a sports bra with a fleece vest over-top and my hair styled on top of my head with a  lovely sweat/rainwater combo. I had planned to stop by Marvelous Market on my way home to get some delicious treats from my homeboys (I am best friends with them all now) but they were sadly closed for the night. So I went home and stayed awake long enough to shower, eat a microwave pizza and watch a few amazing scenes of High School Musical 3 on TV before passing out in a snuggle pile with Chopsticks.

Which brings me back to this morning. I left for work a bit groggy and disheveled. I had to let the D1 pass due to its overcrowding (and thus, I probably missed out on my morning eye canoodling with "bus boyfriend") and then I was forced to stand unsafely at the front of the crowded D2 before packing myself into an even more crowded metro.  I don't like people in my space bubble so this made for an unpleasant morning of transit.  I was counting on McDonald's to put my day back on track but alas, I am sitting here drinking a grossly sugary iced coffee. (Why am I still drinking it, you ask? I don't really have a suitable answer other than that I need caffeine. Desperately.)

That is my complaining for the morning. Thank you for listening. Now I will begin finding some giggle-worthy things on the interwebz to get my day going :)
