This morning, early, I was
lying in bed waiting feverishly until 6 AM when I would get up and
get ready for my home health person. Various thoughts were winding
through my head when in a weak moment I decided I would give up
coffee, probably cold turkey. I got the thinking that I was actually
doing pretty good healthwise. I never really understood why people
weren't supposed to enjoy coffee or at least drink coffee because it
stimulated the heart and of course would probably lead to a heart
attack or other heart disease issues. I never really pursued it to
the end – – no coffee no heart stress no heart attack by take the
risk?
One of my favorite lines
in You've Got Mail where Tom
Hanks(Joe) is telling his friend what they're going to “Because
we're gonna sell them cheap books and legal addictive stimulants”.
Legally
addictive stimulants , Coffee.I hate to be so prosaic but you know, I
love coffee and I love that line from the movie. I love everything
about coffee especially making stuff. I like purchasing coffee beans
and taking them home and then opening the package and taking that
first smell. There was a time I even stored the coffee beans I was
not using in the freezer compartment of my refrigerator. I invested
in a small grinder and would grind just enough for one pot of coffee.
As you know from earlier postings I did not really drink coffee until
my middle to late 30s. So the whole concept was new to me and I very
much enjoyed the procedural aspect of the habit. And I'm a
lightweight, their coffee drinkers out there were much more anal and
I am. And that's cool. I love dark coffee, as dark as you can get it,
French roast, Italian and one or two Middle East blends that I doubt
I could ever find again.
I
was not going to do it but this morning when I rolled out of bed at 6
AM drove into the kitchen the first thing I did was start my process
filling up the coffee maker with clean freshwater and loading the
coffee into the filter hitting “start” and headed into shave and
get ready for Dana. Like always him in the denial. I am convincing
myself that I don't drink enough coffee to worry about as far as
added heart tension goes, Space of the 10 cups of coffee I made this
morning I've only had really one cup of coffee if that much. The rest
I will heat up tomorrow and drink as I look around the kitchen the
clean kitchen (my clean person Gail, came today I'm so excited)
tomorrow's also Thursday which means it's coffee day and the always
load be with “take-home coffee” to doctored to go cups which I'll
balance on my lap and dump into the coffee that I heated up in the
morning and drink the rest of the Day. But tomorrow is going be busy
I'll be gone most the day. Maybe I finish it up on Friday as everyone
knows coffee lasts forever… Does that make it celestial?
