newbuzz...Drastic times call for drastic measures. My wireless internet modem konked out midway through my internet chore list. Therefore, I am sitting at the Goodbye Blue Mondays cafe, using the free wifi and sipping a dangerously caffeinated drink. Normally, people my age refrain from getting all jazzed up after 7pm on a weeknight. But I must complete these tasks and I cannot use the free wireless without a purchase. Anyway, I really cannot sit in a coffee shop and smell the coffee without ordering something with a snazzy name and a come hither aroma. Once it is beside me on the table, I tell myself that I will only take a few sips and leave the rest so my seven hours of sleep will not be interrupted by the glassy eyed energy of a recent coffee buzz. However, I will only be fooling myself, the same way I always think my cat will not jump on the counter when I am away from home. It is a lie. The temptation is too great. Just like my cat will jump up on the counter, I too will succumb, and I will drink the whole thing. I will be up late tonight and I will regret it tomorrow. But the fact remains, I need the internet and the loss of sleep is an undesirable by-product that cannot be avoided.
