Decaffeinated

9.30.13

decaf coffee

A 4-cup pot each morning with 1/4 of it caffeinated. Some cream and splenda, and I’m happy wife and mommy.

But, I’m going to China in less than 9 days, and my “luxury” hotel room there is not going to have a Bunn coffeemaker. I know, I know, I can take instant coffee packets (that cost a small fortune mind you…but worth every penny if they’d do the trick for me). But, those instant packets are either full decaf or fully not and still need creamer, and I’m so not a fan of nondairy powdered creamer. Rather than make my hotel room a science lab, trying to mix the instant grinds to get the perfect 3/4 and 1/4 balance of decaffeinated and caffeinated, and then having to stomach come white powdery stuff in there, I’m doing it. I’m ridding myself of caffeine. Yeah, it’s only a 1/4 caffeinated so laugh if you will. But, I gotta tell you, my head is killing me, and I’m not so cheerful. That caffeine is my happy drug of choice, apparently, even if there’s only a smidgeon of it in there.

Here’s to 4/4 decaffeinated coffee in the morning in preparation for the tasty hot water or, better yet, hot water with autumn leaves or something floating in it that I will enjoy in no time. Wonder if leaves are caffeinated. What am I saying? I’m sure they are.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
