Thank god for coffee

May it get me through this day.

You know, there was a time when I refused to drink coffee. Mostly because I didn't care for it, but also because I refused to be "addicted" to the caffein every day. I made it through college and law school without developing much of a habit. Of course, I still drank Coke like water.

I can't remember when it started, but now my morning coffee is a daily ritual. I get out of whack if the coffee machine isn't working, and get wicked headaches on the weekends when I forget to have my morning cup. I cut back recently, substituting Caffein Free Coke at home, which has actually helped me to sleep better at night.

It's frustrating to realize you're mortal.
