There is a sense of validation and a feeling that you exist in the world when that special day arrives. It doesn't normally take too long but when it does, you feel like you matter and someone notices you...
...yep - the day the coffee guy remembers how you have your coffee!!
You get a smile when you walk in - not just a welcoming, sales assistant smile - but a genuine 'oh, here's a familiar face' smile and you notice that he is already making a coffee. You look around...no-one else LOOKS like they're waiting; then it gets placed on the bench - 'large skim cap with equal'
'largeskimcapwithequal' ? why, that's ME !!
Happy Monday guys - may your coffees be strong and your willpower even stronger

I know exactly what you mean!! There is one particular Chinese restaurant here that our family loves going to. Old building, cheap food and yum! Part of the attraction was a really lovely waiter who would see us arrive and say, "OK so you want pork dumplings: 1 steamed, 1 fried, crab fried rice, sweet & sour pork, 3 diet cokes and one beer. Correct?"
ReplyDeleteSadly, the restaurant moved to a glossier building across town and that guy didn't want to make the trek across town for work. So now we hardly ever go there - without him it's not the same. (And it surely isn't good for someone on WW!!)
