I am having such a productive day. I almost have a whole paper written before 3.30 in the afternoon that I hadn't thought about writing until I began it at 11 am.
This has also been a fundamentally unsettling day: I drank coffee and enjoyed it. After my run this morning (I hydrated with water and Gatorade post-run, and the Gatorade was awful because I brushed my teeth right before my run, but I drank it anyway) I went to Nord's. At Nord's I told the guy three things: I needed caffeine, I wanted something cold, and I wasn't a big coffee fan. He proceeded to make me an iced cold brew something or other that I poured skim milk into and drank with a growing sense of disbelief. Apparently the cold-brew process (which takes eleven hours [ridiculous]) makes the final product less acidic and bitter. It still tasted like coffee, but it was...palatable. A first for me. Normally I only like coffee in two forms: 1. ice cream 2. Seattle's Best Peppermint Mocha Trio (hot minty chocolate with just a smidge of coffee flavor).
He suggested it and I agreed because that's what I do; I agree to things. But I enjoyed it. I still don't know what to think. Am I going to like coffee? Even if I do, I refuse to become addicted. I just won't. I've lasted this long.
(The other unsettling thing about this was the effect that coffee tends to have on my withinsides. Blerg.)
Back to paper-ing. Let's see if I can finish it by 4?
