The Don'ts

Coffee

 
I know you need caffeine sometimes but don’t even fucking think about reaching for a RedBull or 5-Hour Energy. I will slap that shit out of your hand so quick you won’t know whatthefuck happened. Energy drinks are toxic and fucking expensive. Money doesn’t grow on trees; coffee does. Don’t waste your time in a fucking line and spend your hard earned cash on something you can make while you’re sleeping. Cold brewed coffee is also way less acidic, making this easier on your stomach. SO GRAB A CUP OF THIS SIMPLE SHIT AND SEIZE THE GODDAMN DAY.


COLD BREWED COFFEE

¾ cup ground coffee (whatever you got is fine)
3 ½ cups cold water

Put the coffee grounds in the bottom of a large container. If you like coffee with some fucking bite, add another ¼ cup of grounds. Slowly pour the water over the grounds and stir. Make sure all the grounds get wet because sometimes there are weird dry pockets and then you’re just wasting fucking coffee. Let this sit in the fridge (or on your counter if its not too fucking hot in your place) overnight or for at least 10 hours. In the morning, strain that shit using a mesh strainer. You know, the ones that look like a screen door. If you have the time, strain one more time through a paper coffee filter to get out the last of the grounds (or don't and just deal with a couple rogue grounds in your drink). Serve over ice and with some almond milk if that's your thing.

Makes about 3 ½ cups of coffee (triple this recipe and keep the extra in the fridge all week)

Fast breath

UGH!
Panic attack...
I hate those. Blah. I don't like feeling this way...I have stuff to do, I am hoping the more of it I get done the better I will feel.
Wish me luck on that.

Whirled

Amazing day! My Jillian is in town for a wedding. We had so much fun! Did errands, but also broke ice with my step-daughter and drank and laughed with Lauren. Good times.

I have been so busy, Life has left me exhausted with it's many activities. But I have been having so much fun. I've also had too many cocktails, so now I sound like an idiot.

I haven't abandoned you. Sorry for lack of posts. I will remedy that forth with.
