today has been a pretty good day. it's about 3:30...i'm done with work and waiting for dave to pick me up when he's done at 4. so i'm just trying to enjoy my time until then. i am pretty much over being sick, just a little stuffy still. but meg, you are right! it was wonderful to have a solid 3 days of rest! i actually feel a bit refreshed despite being sick. i really didn't do much at all except stay home, curled up on the couch with a blanket and movies. it was nice. and it was completely justified!! but back to the daily grind...since i missed work sat. night, i work tuesday, my normal day off. but that's ok, i think it will be kindof nice. my normal days i am baking food in the kitchen and doing random odd jobs, but tuesday i will be behind the counter making drinks and i really like that part of the job. so it will be a bit relaxing i think. this picture is similar to what we do for lattes. it's called latte art. it's not mine, but i will say, it could be! i like the artistic part of the job. i'm always learning, always creating. it's more than just serving coffee. there's theories and philosophies behind everything we do. and i like becoming better. there's a finesse to being a barista. sometime i will have to write more about it, but david just called and it's time to go!
