Smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning pushes inner on button. Day only begins after coffee.
There are two types of people in the world: morning people, and those, who run on coffee. I belong to the second lot. Blessed as I am with work as a freelancer, the price I pay is late nights and early mornings, day after day with no prospects of proper rest. However, may it be so, that my natural biological hours are as such that early nights and I are not compatible? Don't mind the reason, but the fact is – mornings are unpleasant, real-life continuum of nightmares. Until the first cup of bitter, velvety fluid gets into the system.
Tuesdays are the hardest days in my universe: weekend’s vibe fades away, it's time to face cruel reality of the whole week of hard work ahead. So it was this week as well. Besides feeling sickish – no one has canceled flu season, and one has to make their peace with that, – energy level was of negative meaning. I was able to force myself out of bed 3h after my alarm clock went off, and I was hopelessly late for Aamustartti suomeen class. Dog was displeased with the delay in our schedule, feelings of guilt and anger greeted alongside with the sunshine and wind outside.
Now. Get up, feet in slippers, move to the kitchen. Open the cupboard, find filters, find coffee, find measure spoon. Pour water, 3 spoonfuls of grounded coffee. Press the button. Wait for magic. Few minutes. Meanwhile, play with dog, put yoghurt on the table, take out favorite mug. Not necessary in this order, but necessary do that. Not necessary yoghurt, but put something on the table. Notice, an orchid is in bloom, finally! Make a note – at the moment I read three books, written by the same author. Also, need to try more recipes from Kinfolk cookbook. Coffee machine notified that it’s done with work. Pour coffee in the mug, that made it all the way from Åland islands. Now, coffee, blueberry yoghurt, e-mail, episode of a TV-show on a background, and tiny dog on a lap. Hands get warmer with every sip, sun is shining brighter and the day ahead appears to be active and productive.
After another cup of coffee in the early afternoon, perhaps.
