The man who invented coffee, on the other hand?

I worship them. Every day and religiously, yessir. Also to the ones who invented a/c (A/C? Steph's typing lesson is gonna haunt me forever).

Fay, your English lessons rock (hey, you people understand that when I write "English lessons" I mean "English language lessons", and not "English literature lessons", right?). And they are also very helpful!

And Hil's gonna rock so hard tomorrow. Because I say so. Yes I do.

And poor JZ and Matilda. JZ, I hope you're drunk and sleeping by now.

Way. Too. Much. Studies. To. Do. Today. Kill. Me. Now.

I understand the hate of "getting up too early" for lo, I did keep waking up all night last night, thinking surely my alarm was about to go off. And it wasn't, because about the third time I woke up, it was still only 5:45AM. And my alarm wasn't going off until 7:30. But my SISTER'S alarm went off at 7AM. So, yeah. I'm not awake or happy, already. And I haven't even started the "work" (still procrastinating) or "parents" (haven't shown up yet) parts of my day. Joy?

Maria!! Miss you.

Hopes for Kristin that coffee makes the day bearable and at least getting up early today will make tonight easy to fall asleep and re-adjust to the schedule?

The man who invented coffee, on the other hand?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it was a woman who invented coffee. I may be totally wrong but it just feels right to me.

I'm grateful to whatever woman, man, or deity invented coffee.

Back to work, and everyone is here. Mean!boss took the last 3 weeks of the year as vacation, but she's back.

I'm trying VERY hard to work on that don't-have-contempt-for-her thing, and it's not working so far.

Pretty sure it was goats who discovered coffee. All hail Ethiopian goats!

I worship you, my goaty brethren!

So yeah...you know how I've been in crazy vacation sleeping schedule mode? This is when that becomes a problem. I let it get really bad this past week. Got on theatre people schedule of going to bed between 3 and 4 (5 on NYE) and getting up noonish. I've been in bed since 11. I have to get up by 6. Yeah. It's after 2 already. Tomorrow is not going to be pretty.

Oh, Kristin, my sistah in sleep schedule pains. I went to bed at 1 last night and didn't fall asleep until after 3. I was up at 6:50. That's just so very wrong.

Hail the goats!

I'm picturing goats hopped up on caffeine, and it's not a pretty sight. I feel bad for the goat herders. But hey, they got coffee out of the bargain, so that's something.
