Happiness is a warm cup of coffee

It's Christmas time. I've decorated. Finally. Threw my back out wrapping presents. Medicated with a cold beer, my first in weeks. 

Coffee is my go to now. I love it. I've realized that alcohol has to be limited for me to the occasional indulgence or not at all. I might fall off the cliff otherwise. 

Truth is, I'm happier without it. Healthier. Clear headed. Even last night, after singing a few songs, I wanted the buzz to wear off so I drank a Diet Coke and a water and went to bed. 

I woke up at 2 am. Fully awake. I didn't fall back asleep until 4 am. 

I got up again at 6 am. I relished my cup of coffee listening to John Lennon croon. "Love is old, love is new..."

Talked to my twin. My mom called me. I fed the dogs and sanitized the counters. Thought to myself, I'll have another. Cup of coffee that is. Half and half, two sugar cubes. 

Whole lotta lumps. 

Merry Christmas friends.
