Drinky Day

This morning I was feeling groggy. In fact, I felt SO groggy that I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed, and drove straight to the store to buy the coffee maker I've been hemming and hawing about for a month now. It was a lot of money to part with, especially with my future being somewhat up in the air, but I'm certainly not going to make any forward progress without decent coffee!

Once I got it home, I couldn't bring myself to take it out of the box and set it on my cluttered chaotic countertop, so I started tidying. Once I'd cleared a space, I set up the coffee maker and brewed my first cup, but I felt like I ought to keep tidying anyway. Tidying became deep cleaning, and deep cleaning became a complete reorganization of my entire kitchen. It's only about half done, but I'm very excited. It's neater, cleaner, and things are in logical places instead of just wherever I happened to put them last! See? This is what happens when I get decent caffeine in my veins! The thing's already paid for itself.

In case you can't tell from the picture, it's a single cup system, which means I get to try lots of new varieties, so naturally I went out again after work to buy 6 new varieties (in addition to the 12-pack sample that came in the box). And since Bed Bath & Beyond is right next to the liquor store, I also bought four more bottles of Kopparberg Pear! That'll last me a month or more now that I've put myself on a strict diet and won't be able to have more than one a week. And speaking of my diet, I also worked out today! Second time this week!

I like feeling productive. I reaaaalllly hope it lasts...
