Today I...

woke up late and forgot to put on deodorant.
forgot to pack myself a lunch.
almost hurled my truck, Clarence, into the ditch.
spilled scalding hot coffee down my front while running to my first class.
was twenty minutes late.
realized part of my paper was missing for my lit class.
botched Allen Ginsberg's "Howl."

Thought of you. So I...

appreciated the cold weather that prevented me from sweating.
bought a granola bar from the machine and savored every crumb.
thanked God that Clarence held his ground in the end.
enjoyed the remaining half cup of coffee.
made up for lost time.
wrote in the parts I missed with a ballpoint pen, and added a smiley face.
laughed at my inability to understand obscenity.

It's impossible to have a bad day when I have you in my life.
