The decision!

Random was perplexed.... she could not decide what she really wanted. She wondered whether her indecisiveness was a metaphor for her indecisiveness with her life! but then she realised that she could not tell the exact difference between a simile and a metaphor so she decided to stop taxing her brain because she really needed to go to the bathroom!
As she sat on her 'throne of thought' she thought about the decision that she had to make.... It was a difficult one. She had to consider both her options well. A wrong decision could adversely affect her state of mind in the immediate future!
She wished she could go forward in time and check the repercussions of her decision, but then she realised that she'd been reading too much about the 'butterfly effect' and she came to the conclusion that her decision could not possibly cause a tornado halfway across the world!(mostly because she wasn't the kind to go fluttering some imaginary wings!!)
She marvelled at her thought processes, her exact words were"hmmm what an interesting train of thought. though not as interesting as the orient express!"
But then she realised that she was diverging from her original train of thought!(mmmm train.....) She was still nowhere close to making her final choice. and she had to act fast, she didn't have much time! (there's only so much time that her legs could let her sit there without falling asleep thus rendering her a 'sitting duck' on her throne, utterly embarrassed!) But still ... her thought process was quite astonishing!
She wondered if the word 'process' was a real word ... or had she just made it up??? It somehow sounded different. But then she once thought that her own name sounded weird!
She came to again and remembered that she still had to make her decision. 'Lord, why now?Why do i have to make this decision right now? Why cant it just be made for me? ... Can i survive without them? Cant i just have them both?"(she decided to weigh both her options) "they're both amazing in their own different ways", she thought."Though they still had their unique ______ .. well unique something" she couldn't find the word for what she was thinking about.
And at that moment, she came upon her decision. It wasn't what she had initially expected, she would have to make some adjustments. But it was a decision that would benefit her and everyone that she would meet that day. It had to be the right choice. there was no way in hell that it could be wrong!
So she stood up (and not a moment too soon... her legs would have fallen asleep had she sat there a moment longer!) she got out of the bathroom and walked to the kitchen with confidence in her mind! This was her decision and she was going to stick to it. Nothing could stop her now!

So she took out a cup and poured some warm water into it and dropped a tea bag AND some coffee powder into it. She sat and smiled to herself with the thought of the concoction in her head and the strange yet amazing aroma of both coffee and tea!
