buckling in

Sometimes I really do struggle with wanting to wait until after I've been rewarded to do good things rather than doing good things in the hunt for a reward.

I don't have the option of skipping

Well, I had a stink bug in my coffee this morning, which is only marginally better than stink bug in my cheerios, and also today fully 50% of my office is out sick with a stomach bug. Bugs! Also my back muscles are making a fist.

So it is coffee from Starbucks, with a shrug, and open ears. Glad for rice and lentils, glad for warm and strong and patient S. Glad for being not (currently) one of the ill 50% of ILL. Glad for this job and for recovery.
