morning coffee

arrive at dunkin donuts drive-through. get cursed out by guy because i signal to turn when he would prefer everybody goes straight so he can get to his destination as fast as possible. get welcomed by automatic greeting. as every day, i am upset by this impersonal reflection of the shop's lazyness. what? you can't tell me 'hello' yourself? really? is it that more annoying to say hi to everyone who comes through than it is to take the same order 500 times a day?

i order latte. conversation goes something like this:
me: small iced latte with 3 sugars and milk.
DD: medium or large?
me: SMALL iced latte. 3 sugars. milk.
DD: small hot latte, caramel, with cream.
me: (thinking: seriously?!) -- NO, SMALL ICED latte. NO FLAVORS. Just 3 sugars and milk.

realize there is no sugar in my drink once i take my first sip on the highway.
try to find old sugar packets in glove compartment. almost crash.
decide it's the perfect time to learn how to drink coffee without sugar.
since i'm cutting down on sugar, i decide, it's ok to skip my trip to the gym.
liking the new (sendentary) health plan.
