Thank God for Green Tea - and the boy who makes it

4:50am my alarm screams through the bedroom.
I slap the alarm – then stretch and sigh
Aquaman looks up from his slumber; stretches and sighs.
Eric doesn’t stir.
I stumble to the bathroom through the pitch black.
Hit the lights – and blink rapidly for my eyes to adjust.
Turn on the water in the shower.
Too hot… too cold… too hot… just right
Cherry Blossom shampoo and conditioner awaken my senses.
Rinse off – I don’t want to get out
Cold air hits my skin as I try with a soft towel.
Stumble back through the bedroom to get dressed.
Aquaman stretches and sighs.
Eric doesn’t stir.
Too tight… Too ugly… too loose… Just right.
I walk into the kitchen to pack my lunch.
But my lunch is packed.
I turn to make Tea to take on the bus
My tea is ready to be heated up already.
I love my husband.
I sigh.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make me appreciate life. It was so good to wake up to lunch and tea ready to go this morning.
