Today is the day of two coffees
I slept at 11 pm, woke at 2 am, returned to sleep and woke again for the second time, at 5 am.
I switched off my alarm clock’s button at 5 when I left my bed.
I had two quarter cup coffees in my morning because yesterday I suffered from sleepiness. My coffe is always measured in quarter cup. I ate a small pile of menthol laced sweets but that was insufficient to keep lethargy at bay.
Once upon a time, a cashier at my regular grocery store told me she scooped TWO teaspoons of instant coffee powder into her coffee cup, because she wanted a stronger brew:
She said that to persuade me to buy the cheaper brand of coffee because you could make the stronger brew by adding more coffee powder.
I did that and you guess what happened to me. I suffered a bout of high blood pressure, nausea, dizziness and was flat on my back for about 5 hours until the effect of caffeine wore off. I became normal again.
Now, i’ll only consume 1 flat level teaspoon of coffee powder in quarter cup of hot water. At a time. No more double scoops.
