i had a cup of coffee today.

i've definitely not acquired a taste for it and that being the case, having had some yesterday is most definitely unlike me. it'd very likely take only the fingers on one hand to count the number of cups of coffee i've had in my life to this point. i did have to load it up with cream and sugar, so much so that a purist might suggest that what i drank wasn't actually coffee at all. i probably wouldn't have had it were it not for the fact that it was the only beverage i saw at the meeting i had this morning. you know how it is, beggars can't be choosers.

but then i really don't think it was much a coincidence or if it was, it was a symbolic and timely one. today is annie's birthday and she's a total coffee fiend. i got to talk to her in the morning before i left, wish her a happy birthday stuff like that, she told me it made her day, which made my day. back in march whenever i was last in chicago, we got to spend a whole day together, which was mostly unplanned but only like the best day ever, the road trip from hinsdale to lisle and lunch on the patio at houlihan's, it was great. it was one of those days that seems forever ago, but you remember it like it was yesterday.

i still kinda wish it was just yesterday.

thinking of: horns-huskers today
