Coffee
Last night we went to a coffee tasting. Now let it be known that I categorically do not like the taste of coffee but Das does so there you have it. I drank tiny cup after tiny cup of heavily creamed/sugared coffee trying to discern roundness, smokey aftertones, citrus hints and whatnot. One cup tasted woodsie to me but that was about all I got and no one else knew what I was talking about so I'm going to have to say that my skills as a coffee taster are sorely lacking.
It was a fun event though, lots of laughing and chatting about all types of stuff. In fact one might have suspected the coffee had been spiked with something alcoholic if one was simply observing the flushed cheeks and cheery demeanor of the participants. I got the opposite of buzzed though. Each cup brought me closer to falling over in my chair. By the time we left which really wasn't very late at all, I could barely be upright. I walked into the house, accompanied Das out for a smoke, hit the bathroom and threw myself into bed. I had to read a few pages of a relaxing book to let my body and mind settle down as I need to do nearly every night but within say half an hour I was out. Sadly I was awake by 3:50 this morning so the sedative effects didn't last nearly long enough. Now that I've puttered a bit, posted on fet, sent off a few notes on FB, and been up just over two hours I am feeling the sleepies overtaking me again. I think an early morning nap is in order.
