Pennies for a Perfectly Rainy Day

I can't believe it's already Wednesday of reading week. Eek! This morning was so beautiful, I could hardly wrap my mind around it. So much sun and air so dry even a light wisp swept right through me.

I have to get back to work but I wanted to explain myself. Almost every time people have come over my apartment, they notice (and comment) that I stack my spare change in little rows on my desk. Is this freakishly obsessive compulsive? I don't think so, but maybe I've lost perspective on my own OCD tendencies. I just like to save my pennies for a rainy day - you know, on a really great thunderstorm some summer day with lightening and clouds so dark that day becomes night - so I can go buy some ice cream and watch the storm, or play a game with some fancy $4.00 coffee drink I would never normally buy. But, no, apparently everyone sees my stacks of coins and thinks I'm some control freak. It just looks neater! I won't spill them all over the place if they already look neat because I won't want to mess them up.

Anyway, they'll be jealous of me the day I decide to buy out the candy store with my saved pennies, some perfectly rainy day this summer.
