It’s been so incredibly cold here that I’ve been drinking way too much coffee. By cold, I mean -35 degrees Celsius and a stiff wind, so around -45 C to -50 C with wind chill. This afternoon, it warmed up to ‘only’ -22 C and it felt warm. Winter won’t end soon enough for my liking.
Surprisingly enough, I don’t mind a cold beer at night even after freezing my ‘nads off all day long outside. The combination of way too much coffee and a few beer has been giving me sleep disorders. Note to self: no more coffee after 5:00 PM! And this time I mean it! Sleeping for 15 minutes and then springing out of bed is just no good when you have to get up at 4:30 AM.
You know you drink too much coffee when:
you can fall sleep with your eyes open
your eyes stay open when you sneeze
you find yourself chewing on other people’s fingernails (now that’s just un-hygienic! Unless of course they just washed their hands…)
you forget to peel a banana before eating it (Kpax style cuisine)
your taste buds are so numb you could eat sawdust with dirt sprinkled on it
you want to get a picture of a coffee mug on your coffee mug!
I’m not one of those gourmet coffee drinkers. I don’t own my own coffee roaster or coffee grinder. I just wish there was a Tom Norton’s around here. Unfortunately, the closest Tommy’s is 93 KM away, so off to the corner gas station I go to get my thermos of joe. Bottoms up!
