Awake but tired...

I'm a bit disappointed that one of four large purple fluffy chairs were not available here at Starbucks, but it is what it is. Instead, I head for a wooden chair and table like the ones we had in grade school. As I sit down, memories of the kid behind me kicking my books off the rack under my chair race through my mind.

I'm really here to just get out of the office for a bit, catch up on the routine blogs I read (and create one), and get hyped up on MORE caffeine. I've already had a Mc D's sweet tea (thank you to myself this am), a venti iced soy latte (thank you to Andrew Dorff), and now I'm about to drop $2 more with my treat receipt. Life is short enough so why the hell not?

Thank God it's Friday as I'm exhausted. Exhausted from learning to sleep light in case the Marine Man should call or text to say he's deploying. I'll get sleep when he deploys to Afghanistan, which he's on standby for. For now, I keep myself awake with - what other than - Starbucks Chai Tea. I've also learned it works as a laxative. Aren't you glad to know that? Someone should tell Hollywood's finest, as it's much less expensive than diet pills and healthier than purging.
