As of today, I have not had a coffee in two weeks! And it's been a rough road along the way. Week one brought on a dull ache behind my eyes that could easily have been banished in five minutes with a walk over to the coffee pot. Now there are certain parts of the day where I find it difficult to stay focused (like that 2:30 - 3:00 time where you start to regret all the carbs you ate at lunch). And it seems like people around me are drinking more coffee than ever. And they have to make it worse by saying things like, "Rue, aren't you going to have some of this coffee?" Then, "there's lots left; you should have some, or it'll go to waste!" At work, the coffee has been free and about fifteen steps from my desk. If it wasn't such bad coffee, I don't know how I'd cope.
But soon I'll be moving back to head office where the coffee is just as bad, not free, and about 800 steps from my new cubicle (which is actually a small shoebox - no wait, I'm in a seat in the corner of a small shoebox shared with about fifteen other people). Grumblecakes.
Anyway, I decided to give it up for the summer until things start to get really busy again in September and sleep becomes a luxury that is above my pay scale. Not that I'm really idle now. How has this week gone...? Up early for a recording Saturday, up early for choir Sunday, recording until late Monday, Alpha downtown just now on Tuesday night, choir will be Wednesday night, catching up with a friend and celebrating her birthday Thursday. Who incidentally reminded me that my birthday is coming up as well, which will be pretty anti-climactic given that I thought I was a year older than I was for the past six months or so anyway.
See all the random blather I'm spouting? It just drives my point home: I can't focus without my good friend coffee!
