I have been excessively tired this week, like naps after work tired, cover up with a blanket tired, turn the alarm off and go back to sleep tired. Is it the time of year? Is work exhausting me? Am I staying up too late and getting up at an ungodly hour? Am I cutting back on afternoon coffees? Ahh... that last one just might be it!
Who knew working in a coffee shop could be so absolutely crazy? I never knew so many people ordered espresso drinks (or that there is apparently a preferred time of day for them... Seriously! They come in in bunches!!!) Previous to working at Dunkin (which I know is far from exotic and shunned by coffee snobs), I didn't know the difference between a latte, a macchiato, and a cappuccino (and I seriously can't spell them without help...). Throw in an Americano and a Triple Espresso and the option to make them hot or iced (along with flavors and whipped cream) and it's a recipe for chaos and confusion. We were short two staff members today and somehow survived, partly thanks to another who came in to rescue us, and this is a tiny Dunkin on the corner of a gas station convenience store... (Mobile orders don't know the difference.)
Well, it's after 9 pm and time for me to think about going to sleep again...
PS. My allergist say the serum for my injections is ready. Here's hoping it makes a visible difference.
...and warm covers on your bed.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Warm covers make all the difference!
DeleteWell, while we are talking coffee. I will take a grande vanilla latte extra hot with a straw!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cup of coffee is what I make each morning for myself. Starbucks light ground coffee, Italian sweet cream and half/half and a little frath (spelling??)
I can make any coffee I choose while I'm at work, but I don't have a spare moment to savor it, and isn't that what coffee is all about? Yes, vanilla. Vanilla is my favorite, although lately I've been liking the butter pecan too.
DeleteI sure hope your meds will help you too.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about coffee snobs. I knew nothing about the ins and outs of coffee before traveling for work and was introduced to Starbucks and Chai.
Trying to keep all of the different "recipes" straight in your head certainly has to be exhausting.

I'm finding that a nap after work enables me to stay awake longer in the evening, and also squanders any chance of doing things in the afternoon. LOL!
DeleteI HAVE to take vitamin D3 in the winter here, or I simply just want to sleep the day away, like a bear in hibernation.
ReplyDeleteVitamin D is already part of my regimen. It's the getting up at 4:15am and being on my feet all day that make me exhausted. But yes, we do tend to be sleepy in the winter here in Rochester, NY.
