Day 22: Something That I Miss

"What do I miss?" she asked the boy.

"Coffee, of course," he replied.

Hmm... did she really miss it?

The last time she had a sip was the morning of May 25... 181 days ago... 4344 hours...

Sometimes she has a craving, when the boy's coffee is brewing in the morning and the smell of freshly ground beans fills the kitchen. Or sometimes when she's extra sleepy & thinking about having a jolt, or when the holiday bevvy's come to Starbucks and she's dying for a latte.

But mostly, no. She doesn't really miss it all that much. Not enough to start up again.One sip and she'd be back on the wagon & steering it right over a cliff.

She does, however, wonder how Christmas morning will taste without a little Bailey's spiked coffee.

But she'll jump off that bridge when she comes to it.
