Beans

I felt so despondent yesterday - and frankly just kind of slow and dumb. When that happens, I often assume I'm affected by external factors. But what if I just needed a good cup of Joe?

We'd run out of coffee yesterday, so I got by - at least I thought I was getting by - with some English Breakfast Tea. This clearly didn't work, so today, my girl and I walked to our favorite local coffee shop and restocked our coffee supply. As a bonus, I got to bring Jer a latte as a morning surprise.

It's not ideal that I'm so strung out on caffeine that missing a day puts me into a tailspin of existential dread. But it's helpful to realize that, if I can simply meet my body's basic needs, everything else gets a little easier.
