Caffeine-Fueled Deep Thoughts

You know how people are always talking about cutting back on caffeine?  Well, sometimes I think I should increase my caffeine intake.  I don’t drink coffee, but I do drink black tea every morning.  Some mornings I have two cups of tea, and then I feel the buzz!  This morning I had a little extra time, so I sat in Starbucks, drinking tea and working on a blog post. It was incredible!  Profound and philosophical.  Just think, if I actually drank coffee– I would turn into a genius! OR, an insufferable bore.  Later on when I read the post I was like “Um…. what?”  I couldn’t figure out how to put it together in a coherent post.  Sigh!  The second-to-last day of NaBloPoMo is like when you’re doing an interval workout at the track-  the penultimate lap is always the hardest. So in lieu of an “amazing” post full of deep thoughts, I present you with some questions. Would you continue to blog if no one was reading? I wouldn’t.  I guess it would be nice to have an online journal, but for me the real satisfaction is in the connection with other bloggers.  The same way I wouldn’t do my own version of NaBloPoMo in July- the fun is that we’re all doing it together. How are you feeling about NaBloPoMo ending? I’m guessing most people feel the same as I do- sad, but relieved.  I’ll miss it- I’ve been loving all the daily posts.  But I’m tired!  I want to just curl up on the couch and binge watch episodes of “Christmas Cookie Challenge.”  Or, finally finish the book I started three weeks ago. If you’re a non-blogger (hi Ashley!) or someone who reads but doesn’t comment, would you say hi in the comment section? I would love to hear from you! I’ll be back tomorrow for NaBloPoMo2023 wrap-up!
