Coffee Talk

Let's catch up over coffee! What will you be having? I'm drinking a cup of Key West Sunrise from Cuban Coffee Queen, thanks to my oldest, who just returned from a weekend in Key West. If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that I was touched that he thought of me! Actually, he sent me pictures throughout his trip, which was really nice. 

The coffee is great. Of course, I'm having mine with a scoop of GLG collagen and a splash of half and half. Old habits die hard!

What would you tell me over coffee?

If we were having coffee... I'd have to whine about the weather. Seriously...we had so much rain and wind and cold in April. I don't ever remember an April like this. It's even lingering into May. Signs of spring are everywhere--I guess it happens no matter what the weather. Supposedly, it's going to get warm next week. REALLY WARM. Like the upper 80s. How does this even make sense?

If we were having coffee... I'd ask you what you were doing for Mother's Day. My sister is out of town, so we are having my mom and dad over, along with my father-in-law. My oldest is coming too. My youngest is trying to find someone to cover his shift at work. I'd love to see him too but he does have finals next week! I'm always so grateful that my boys are both nearby and that I get to see them fairly often.

If we were having coffee... I'd tell you that I am celebrating 10 years at my current employer. I received a certificate and a pin in the mail. Whoopee. It's a good place to work, as good as any other large medical organization, I guess. I'm still battling with them for pay equity. It's tough when you know they are hiring new grad NPs at the same salary as mine. I've been a nurse for a long time--all in pediatrics-- and medicine has really changed, not necessarily for the better. But in spite of all that, it's the honor of caring for people's children that has made it a very rewarding career. 

If we were having coffee... I'd ask you what you've been watching. We finished Julia, which was wonderful! Right now we're alternating between 2 very heavy dramas: Ozark and Dopesick. Both are very intense and dark. I'm hoping to find some lighter fare after this.

What would you tell me over coffee? What are you doing for Mother's Day? What are you watching on TV? 

I'm linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date and with the ladies of Fit Five Friday:  Darlene, Michelle, Renee, Jenn, and Zenaida.
