Which is funny, because I was pretty sure I was never going to be a coffee person.
First of all, our new anthology is out! It features four stories from the time period between the War and the events in City of Hope and Ruin. All the details can be found here.
But seriously, there was a coffee shop in the lobby of the engineering building at university, and I’d meet my friends there all the time, maybe getting some tea, and they were boggled about how I was surviving engineering school without caffeine.
(Maybe caffeine would have helped? I did not get a lot of sleep at night and slept through a lot of class, but I think I’m mostly immune to caffeine anyway.)
(Moving on.)
In a few minutes here I have to take my car to the dealership for a major recall fix (apparently the passenger side airbag becomes more and more likely to explode incorrectly as time goes on), which is a pain in the butt. I have at least coerced them into giving me a rental car so I don’t have to wait around (with the smallest, mobile one) for six hours while they replace the airbag.
Two weeks ago, I had to have the washing machine repaired. And two weeks before THAT I had sinus surgery, which I shall be paying for forever.
I mean, nothing’s a catastrophe. But, Goddess, can’t things stop falling apart? Can’t we go a few months where there are no emergencies, no repairs, no medical issues, nothing that costs over $200 in a go?
Cross your fingers for me, friends. And I hope your adulting is going well.
Your title is exactly how I’m feeling at the moment. And my coffee consumption is going up. Sigh.
