I hope everyone is doing well. It’s such a beautiful day, and I enjoyed my walk to the coffee shop. I’m waiting on my hot tea, and then, I’m going to drown out the world and get into my zone for a few hours. So, I went out yesterday, and I hadn’t had caffeine beforehand. My anxiety didn’t bother me at all! I think I’m gonna hold off on the Bluetooth earbuds and just stick with limiting my caffeine intake. Besides, I love Five Below, but if I’m gonna spend $8 on earbuds, I want to know that they’re good quality. I did, however, get some new flip-flops. One pair is pink leopard print, and the other is black with colorful butterflies, and they were $2 each. :) I’m going to wind up going back for more, I just know it lol. I don’t wear them to the coffee shop, though. I prefer sneakers for walking. Otherwise, I only picked up five 2 liters of Dr. Pepper Zero. Buy 2, get 3 free at Harris Teeter. My nearly $20 purchase was sliced in half. Not bad. I’m not ONLY drinking soda, but I do like to stock up since I rely on rides (and who doesn’t love a good sale?). I think I’m good to go on my grocery shopping for the week. I picked up an order on my usual writing platform. I haven’t written for this team in literal years. I got a revision request on a lengthy order and thought I wasn’t good enough. But that was then, and this is now, and I’m ready to try again. I’m just waiting until my tea is ready, so I can put on my headphones. I told the barista I’d come get it myself, so I need to be able to hear her when it’s done. I have no idea what I’m doing when I get home. If work for my other clients picks up, I may work near the big living room window. If not, I may either sit out front or go to the park. I’m craving some sunlight. Fortunately, the door near my table at the coffee shop is open. Sunlight and a breeze while I’m working? I’ll take it. :D Okay, so my tea is ready, and I’m ready to get started on my work. I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe and take care. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay

Thank yoooou! And tomorrow is coffee day. That makes me happy because the seasonal flavor at the coffee shop is French vanilla lol.
