Wednesday - WRISTBAND

As first steps go, some mornings' first steps were more exciting than others. Today was likely going to be a first-step-for-mankind sort of day that was less exciting. She was in the car line at McDonald's getting ready to order her first Diet Coke of the day. She’d already twanged the rubber wristband she wore to remind her that Diet Coke was a beverage she was trying to give up, but it hadn’t lessened her craving. She twanged the band a second time, really pulling back this time, but the pain on the inside of her wrist only seemed to strengthen her resolve to caffeinate.
