Re-post: They Beckon Me

It's that time again - the one where I recycle a few older posts to support the time I need to recharge along the coastline. Hope you enjoy. I'll be back soon! -Kel

A small voice calls to me from my sleep. Do you want coffee, Kel? Doesn't matter that it's 2am, 5am, mid-afternoon. I always answer yes. Short of labeling it an addiction, coffee is comfort. It's my siren song.

In a vain attempt at creating coffee shop-worthy drinks, I made my own cold brew. Not half bad. However, the espresso beans were a bit past their shelf life so it turned out somewhat bitter. I still drank it. Then I ordered new beans.

Chicka D's, of course

Also, I had a small issue with remembering to complete my fasted blood work so I was forced to reschedule which resulted in a nearly lunchtime appointment. Fasted. Starving. Not in a great overall mood. That particular day called for a third caffeinated beverage, mainly as a reward for not harming anyone.

I don't know how some people do it. How do they survive without these magical beans? I never want to find out.

I ask you -

How much coffee do you drink per day?

Does the need for coffee ever wake you up?

Tell me about the last time you forgot an important appointment!
