Smell of Coffee

Coffee shakes me out of my pirate ship. Knocking me into the sea, without benefit of plank. My hazel eyes pop open; I am smelling it. Right? My imagination laughs; she can make me taste it too If she wants to. We both know it. I try to regain my former cozy sleep position. Smell of coffee is overpowering; there is no way to get comfortable. I hate my imagination right now. I can taste coffee blend in my mouth! I wander into the kitchen where my husband is having his third cup. He avoids my eyes, knowing what I am like before I get to at least my second.

Love me my morning coffee even more now as it helps the routine of the quarantine day...bleck! I mean black, no with cream, and wine at five not before. Just a glass or four...no really one. It has to last til this covid-19 day is done. Kisses and hugs, sweet one!

I have to have so much sugar, chocolate syrup and whipped cream it would sicken you.
