People who claim that coffee has no effect on them are a mystery to me. If you looked inside, you’d see our insides don’t align at all. Coffee beans are my energy boosters, my essential fuel, like the oil in a well-running engine. You get the idea—I really need my coffee.
Without it, I feel like only half of myself. Everything goes sideways when I’m not fully caffeinated—like that time I wandered around the grocery store for twenty minutes, completely blanking on the one item I needed to pick up.
A day without coffee gives me the bizarre idea that it’s perfectly fine to drive my kids to school in fuzzy slippers. It convinces me that my partner’s oversized V-neck sweater is an acceptable outfit for the school book fair.
Oh yes, no coffee is a recipe for disaster.
Without coffee, I might think that a twisty tie in my hair is a trendy hairstyle. I might crank up the radio when I’m just trying to warm up the car. I might even find my 11-year-old’s winter boots looking surprisingly fashionable on my feet. The mailbox suddenly seems like a mile away, and packing five Fruit Roll-Ups in the kids’ lunches? Yeah, that’s a delightful surprise for them. Without coffee, emptying the dishwasher feels like lifting heavy stones, and I might rather walk around holding up my pants all day than trek upstairs for a belt.
Coffee is truly magical; it connects the dots in my brain and makes mornings lively as I argue with the talk radio hosts. It gives me the energy of an Olympian, powering me through an hour on the treadmill at a steep incline. As long as the music is blasting, I never get bored.
One of the first tasks I assigned my kids, as soon as they could reach the counter, was measuring out two generous scoops of coffee grounds. I handle the water, and they just press the button to start the comforting gurgle of our coffee maker. To my children, the sounds of coffee brewing in the morning signal that they won’t be living off snack foods that day.
