Coffee

I made coffee for myself yesterday afternoon.

It is my first guilt-free coffee since June 2010. One morning two years back , I celebrated with cold coffee the fact that this would be my last coffee in a while.

Since then, I have had coffee a few times, but it was never guilt-free. After losing CBub, I went to this place to get a frappé I like. And that was revenge coffee.

It's just coffee.

But since that morning of June two years back, it was only yesterday's coffee that was not attached to guilt or compensatory overtones.

    Glad to hear you enjoyed some guilt free coffee. I bet it feels great.

    So jealous. If I had any it would be full of guilt. I don't drink coffee without a lot of cream and sugar and unfortunately I don't think I'd much care for coffee that tasted like coconut. Since I only use rice or coconut milk now thanks to the dairy allergy, it's tea for me (which I will drink without milk). How I crave coffee though!!! And cheese. And ice cream. Ok, I'm done. Enjoy your coffee and one for me too!

    Timothy hates it when I drink real, espresso-based coffee, even if it's decaf - I guess it really affects the milk's taste. So I drink Taster's Choice in the mornings... which is not really coffee, as far as my European palate is concerned :)

    Congrats on finally having a guilt-free coffee!!!

    Yay for guilt free coffee!

    It's an interesting dynamic of dealing with IF... how our consumption of things that most people take for granted can induce fear and/or guilt. I realized recently that this time next year I won't have to suffer with my seasonal allergies unmedicated, as I have for the past four years. I'll be able to get through lilac season without runny eyes! Yay!

    Guilt-free anything is good. :) (prepare yourself for a barrage of comments--I let it get to an embarrassing level this time)

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
