Wecome to Dunkin

Work is going good. (Who knew coffee could be so complicated? LOL!) As much as there is to learn, it's just coffee and I can go home without feeling overwhelmed. Customers sometimes get mad when they have to wait a few minutes longer than expected, when we have run out of what they ordered, or when we mess up and get it wrong, but at the end of the day I don't have to worry about it. Getting up at 4:15am, taking a shower before climbing into bed, and staying awake long enough to keep up with my friends and family are the biggest struggles. I'm adjusting and all is well.

Afternoon "dance parties" are what I love best at work. The lines slow down between 11am and and 1pm and the mood is light. Jess brings her speaker, turns on some country music and provides us a bit of much needed entertainment. I go home smiling.

I'm going gluten free again. No donuts for Martha. It's been a week and my tummy is feeling softer and less bloated. I'm shooting for 4 weeks to see if it makes a significant difference. (That was an old photograph. And yes, glazed donuts are a favorite.)

In other news, woods walks are the best.

    1. The worst thing about coffee is not drinking it. LOL! (I get caffeine withdrawal headaches.)

    1. I've gone this route before but never stuck to it for long enough. I think if I was actually in pain it would be easier, Then again, maybe I'm so used to it that I'm not noticing...
