A wee indulgence

I have had difficulties booting up the brain today. I totally spaced putting on my makeup this morning. And I was partway to work before I realized I was going the wrong direction: I had totally forgotten I had to stop at the YMCA first to drop off the girls, and was forced to make a lane change in a hurry to backtrack. If my haze had been just a little thicker, I might gone all the way to the point of pulling into the ramp at work, looking in the back seat at my girls, and saying, "What are you doing here?"

So I cracked on my resolve--just a little. I went across the street and got a skim mocha coffee (no whip). With caffeine, which is not my usual custom. This was allowable under the rules (I had decided to allow myself 1/2 tsp. sugar in my morning coffee each day this month--all right, so the mocha probably had more than 1/2 a tsp. in it.)

But they also included a chocolate-covered coffee bean, which technically under my rules was forbidden. One bean. One.

I ate it.

Considering how good I've been all month so far, I don't feel too guilty.
