After a couple of weeks of inferior (to my tastes, anyway) coffee because I ran out of my New Orleans blend coffee and had to wait until the next scheduled shipment, I was more than ready for my chicory. It arrived yesterday. I had my first cup this morning. The angels sang.
Yes, for coffee. Angels like chicory coffee. Didn't you know?
AND, just to make it even BETTER, the au lait part consisted of some Jersey milk the MiL picked up from a local farm this past weekend. Jersey milk has a much higher percentage of milkfat in comparison to the ubiquitous Holstein milk, and is therefore much richer and more delicious.
So, long-awaited chicory coffee + Jersey milk=JOY.
It's a small and insignificant joy, to be sure. I mean, nothing like the life-changing, soul-stirring joy of Cubby for instance. But since THAT particular life-changing joy decided to wake up at five this morning, the presence of good coffee to keep me from a catatonic state was significantly more joyful.
Have you had any small but nonetheless extremely welcome happiness today? Please, share the joy with us all.

Sadie woke up way early today too. WHAT GIVES, BABIES?!
Joys so far today: brown sugar in my oatmeal & turning on the car heater and getting all toasty while it drizzled outside.
Hmmm...sucktastic run followed by dressing the husband's bike crash wounds...no simple pleasures yet.
But I'm hopeful. It can only go up from here, right?
I fixed a painfully trite sentence in a student paper by deleting a couple of words and adding one that made the sentence connect the themes in the paper.
And the student, bless her heart, GOT IT!
Revisions c'est moi.
Calling in sick to work--because I really was/am. Going back to bed and sleeping 6 more hours. Waking up and feeling lots, lots better (although still sniffling, sneezing, and coughing). Being greeted lovingly by the Sweet Kitty Cat.
My sis and brother-in-law have a Jersey dairy farm in WI. I love going to their place and drinking the milk literally fresh out of the cow. Yum.
