It's a brown sugar kind of day

The warning came early.  An email received on my commute to work.
The subject line: No Marmalade
The body, to the point: My oatmeal is gross today

KN, thanks for the early heads-up. 

With marm expectations spread thin, I opted for the stalwart standby -- brown sugar. Today, a good day for a standby--nothing risky... no jelly, raisins or almonds.  Just brown sugar.

Maybe, I thought oatmeal is a metaphor for life.  I even checked my horoscope to see if it said take no risks.  

It didn't.  I guess, at least for today, oatmeal with no marm is just oatmeal with no marm. Yuck.
