Quick, someone forcefully remind me that no matter how tempting and delicious extra coffee sounds right now, I will REGRET IT tonight because I have to go to bed early. (Morning meetings tomorrow, bah.)
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Mmm, extra coffee.
What? I'm helping!
Okay, so I need extra coffee because I just had a nap, but Jilli mayn't have extra coffee. <not helping>
So I have now had two days in a row in which my dreams were situated in my childhood house. I miss that house. If I'm ever a rock star, I'm totally buying that house (in economically depressed former steeltown Ohio). It was passive solar design from the seventies, probably, but it was a great house. I'd have to put a woodstove insert in the fireplace, but other than that... Ok, it's probably not the actual house of my idyllic childhood memories. But it was pretty great.

siiiiiigh Okay.

Green tea, maybe? And lots of water. I need to bring in some little bottles of bitters so I can flavor my fizzy water at work.

Part of why I want more coffee (or any caffeine, really) is because it's Quarterly Goal Writing Time at work, an activity I despise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not only do I have True Citrus in my work drawer, there are also random sachets in my purse. The amount of sugar I drink had dropped radically--I'm wondering if I should make a move to unsweetened soy milk, but enh. Soy milk is not tasty enough for all that.
In Jamaica, I left the house twice without my tea and travel mug with steeping basket. And I regretted it both times. At home we have lots of tasty moderate to un-sweetened things to drink. But getting fresh fruit juice at random (even nice) restaurants in Kingston--I bat zero. With the travel mug I could keep tea hot for four or five hours, so very pleasant.
Okay, I should totes go have lunch.

Yeah, I have true lime as well as some of the individual packs of drink mix. I don't use the whole thing, just a third or to flavor the water.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No coffee. Herbal tea is fine. Bitters for fizzy water is a great idea. Unless you use celery bitters. Those are inherently evil, I am sure of it.
