It feels like I’m taking the day off, but that is not happening on purpose. I’m not entirely awake at the moment. Sleep seems to be lingering today. Things related to the production of words are not moving along very swiftly today. I went to sleep a little bit earlier than usual last night and the consequence of so much sleep seems to be a very slow morning.

Well —- the mystery of why things were off to such a slow start this morning was solved. I realized when I circled back for more coffee this morning that for some reason I had accidentally brewed myself 2 shots of decaffeinated espresso. Honestly, I had totally forgotten that any decaf espresso pods were in the cabinet. They tasted fine, but the outcome was disappointing in every way.
