the need for coffee and other important stuff...

Every morning my husband and I sit and chat over a couple of cups of coffee. It's a very nice way to begin a day. Two days ago we noticed that our coffee was almost finished, but we have the decaf. stuff sitting in the cupboard to use up, so hey.... Wrong!! Wrong! Wrong! I woke up yesterday with a headache and a slight upset tummy, so I decided not to eat breakfast and just have a cup of java. I pretty much always eat breakfast, it's the right thing to do...but if the tummy is a little off...well....breakfast may come later in the morning in the form of a bought muffin. But, the decaf. coffee.....yikes. As much as it tasted like coffee....my headache did not like the decaf. So by the time I got to work, my first task was to put on some REAL coffee and
then take an Advil for my headache. Uh, I don't usually make dumb mistakes. But now really, empty "upset" tummy and Advil....what was I thinking!!! Wow. What a combination. The tummy ache went from mild discomfort, to who is tearing up my tummy's lining! Food. I needed FOOD. All in all, the experience of Advil and no food in tummy ...well, I can safely say that it won't happen again, EVER!!! (I did get rid of my headache, the stomach ache proved to be a little more than needed, though!!)

I knew I was getting up in years....but
last night my husband played with his band at a local watering hole. A shwack of ladies that I work with came out to listen and keep me company...all very nice. We enjoyed the music, danced in a huge group and generally laughed and had some innocent fun. What was disturbing was there was a "pub crawl" happening. I have never partaken in a pub crawl so I had to ask what it required....duh. Anyway, while the ladies and I were at the tables, two buses of young people had poured into the place and left an hour later. My eyes nearly popped outta my face.
These kids were so young....they did not look old enough to drive never mind drink. This is a sign of getting older...no doubt. Sitting back and watching the adventures of these kids was one that made a few of my friends and I look at each other and shake our heads, numerous times over. It's true, I am getting old....wait, let me amend that thought.....I am old.
