Karma and Drama...are they twins?

Imagine this, I wake up 15 minutes late because I am in a nice dream. Get ready and walk out the front door, it feels really good, my favorite time of year...Fall. Crisp air with a slight chill and its still dark outside... brings me back to days when I was up at 4am in boot camp to get my exercises on. All in all it was a perfect morning. The drive to work was as usual and I arrived a few minutes late, carried a short friendly conversation with a co-worker then we agreed to go across the street to Starbucks and grab a coffee. (a true excuse to continue our non-working, but pleasant environment) I am waiting for my coffee at the other end of the barista bar and just as my drink is called out, I reach to grab it and a gentlemen passing me drops his coffee!
I cursed so loud and am pretty sure I had a lot of people looking at me in the very busy morning hours. I didn't care, like always I am not wearing socks and my foot gets a taste of how hot coffee is. The entire lower half of my pants is now soaked in coffee, the guy who's coffee splattered everywhere is very apologetic and very embarrassed. I truly felt bad for him, but shamefully was focused on the fact that my pants were going to carry a brown tint on them for the rest of the day and forever if I don't get something on it to make sure there will not be stains. I was thankful I was wearing black shoes. The coffee slid right off the slick exterior and if there was a stain I wouldn't know it.
As I share this story, my pants are still wet (I lifted my leg into the bathroom sink and ran cold water on my pants). I am not moving from my desk so that I avoid questions about my pants that looked like I stepped in a toilet. My co-worker took full advantage of the humor out of it and convinced an innocent co-worker to sing I am a little tea-pot to me! I sang along and even forced a few of the movements out. Funny it was, but just not to me at this moment.

So given my recent 'drama' going on - family, you know what I am talking about. I was just curious if Karma and Drama are twins?

Aww Sis,
Don't be so hard on yourself. Life happens. We're in the phases of a full moon and things are always off during this time.
The way I haven't been sleeping well lately says somethings amiss in my own chemistry...youd've thought I'd started drinking coffee myself.
Love Ya anyways,
Lisa
