The disappearing M


This morning, I had to leave the house earlier, and I had a real struggle getting up before 7. So far, I've been good going to bed early, so my body might just be fatigued from adjusting to normal sleep rhythm. Another result of my healthier lifestyle is that because I eat regularly, I feel hungry when I don't eat on time. I missed breakfast this morning, but another interesting effect of more sleep was that, although I had no coffee, I wasn't yawning and blinking through the meeting (this eating regularly and sleeping more lark has its benefits!). After the meeting, I dropped into a shop to get something to eat, and ended up making my first mistake of 2012. I got a bag of M&M's (chocolate, in the brown wrapper), and when I got back to the office, I made a cup of coffee and locked the door.
I was in the middle of this sinful indulgence when someone knocked on the door. In my hurry to hide the evidence, I quickly pushed the M&Ms under my computer keyboard, and a green one (a green M? A green M&M? What's the singular form?) fell out and dropped onto the floor. After I was left alone again, I spent ten minutes looking for it (I'd figured it had been too long on the floor to eat, but I had to dispose of the evidence, didn't I?), before giving up. Tomorrow I'll have another look before giving up. If I can't find it when I'm lookign for it, others will hardly find it when they're not even aware of the existence of a green M(&M) in the same room. I hope. Murphy's law states otherwise.

Ah well, 20 past eleven already. Off to bed so!
