Chocolate saved my crazy day. Tomorrow will be my last day at work, and this whole week has been quite hectic for me trying to get my last projects finished. I set out this morning and spent two hours writing a newsletter for mission and outreach. After having it almost finished, my mouse disappeared and my computer decided to freeze. And of course when this happens, you still haven’t saved the work you’ve been doing.
After manually shutting down my computer by just holding in the power button and turning it back on the same way, lovely little Microsoft word shows me my “repaired document” that is still missing 3 articles I wrote before deciding to freeze again.
At this same moment, my co-worker Charl (a new volunteer in our office) walks in the door like my knight in shining armor. He carried in his hands the ingredients for 5 minute chocolate cake – a recipe I had given him when we found out our similar love for chocolate. After restarting my computer and gathering what I could from my poor broken newsletter, I decided the best cure for my frustration was to eat chocolate.
It really did make life seem not so terrible. Thank you God for chocolate, and those who bring it for my enjoyment :]
I believe dark chocolate is a major food group with medicinal value. And it does relieve stress.
