The first thing I do when I wake up is drink coffee. I keep repeating until a couple of hours before I go to bed. When I want to reward myself I go to Starbucks.
It’s probably not healthy, but it seems to be my last addiction that I can’t do without.
I like the taste of coffee, but unfortunatley it impacts my mental health negatively. I get overexcited. And now I have a ulcer, so I simply can’t drink coffee no matter what because of the acid. I think coffee is 3 something on the PH scale.
They have a Starbucks like 25 miles from me. It’s always busy, you typically have to wait 45 minutes before you get your order. I drive there to get out of the house some days. I also go out to eat with one of my friends or family members once a week to keep the connection with family and friends. Right now I’m doing continuing education for nursing and nuclear medicine even though I don’t work, currently on disability. Good things.
