Lately, I’ve been wishing I could just live off of coffee. (Well, okay, coffee and red wine, but I’ll just stick with coffee right now.) Eating food (or, rather, preparing said food–no, wait, it’s the cleaning up that get’s me) just feels like an insurmountable chore these days. But, alas, I am quite sensitive to caffeine, and I truly, madly, deeply SHOULD NEVER DRINK MORE THAN ONE CUP AT A TIME. Ever.
Really.
Despite that fact that I would drink coffee all day long if I could, sadly, I can’t. It triggers my anxiety. It makes my heart rate crazy. It makes me wonky and, ultimately, tired. Highs and lows. Don’t tell me caffeine is not a drug. That stuff can seriously mess you up!
When our 12-cup coffee maker died, we opted to replace it with a Keurig. Not because it is neat and trendy and cool. Not because the coffee is any better. But because a single serving is what we need to tame our caffeine addiction. And those stinkin’ little cups are way pricey! Sheesh! But if left unmonitored we would go through several pots on the weekend and end up climbing the walls. (Yes, I’m saying “we” here because I am not alone in this justified love of the java.)
Anyway. .. this week my temptation is that second K-cup:
