I am a Telepath!

This is a glorious day! Today is the day, that two momentous events occurred and I am the giddy recipient.

But first, let me set the stage. It's 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, and I've trundled off to the Coffee Cubby. Now the 'coffee cubby" is no more than a closet with big ideas, and far too little room to use them. It's large enough for three people of moderate size and girth to loiter, and not inhale the scent of waning perfume. However, were a person, of diminutive stature, and frail frame to try and angle their way into the room, the walls, I'm sure, would burst, and the ceiling would collapse...it's a small place.

And in the puny room, my eyes were transfixed, glossy and wanting, as I looked at a thing of such mouth watering pulchritude, as  to blind me from the fact that, I was indeed drooling on myself. I wasn't hungry, merely peckish, and yet, I had to have it. Like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" was desperate for a shave, a meal, and toilet paper, I was desperate for....

A large Rice Krispy treat.
