Coffee Talk

Let's catch up over coffee!! What are you having? I'm sipping on my favorite, Colectivo Co-Optiva with a scoop of GLG collagen and a splash of half and half. It never gets old. 

What would you tell me over coffee? 

If we were having coffee, I'd first tell you that I am obsessed with avocado toast with an egg on top. I mean who isn't? Last week, the Jewel, our local grocery chain, had a coupon for a bag of 5 avocados for 99 cents. I couldn't believe it! I went back later in the week to get one more bag before it ended. The staff at work was talking about it too. I'm still eating those avocados. It sure will be hard to go back to paying $$ for avocados again.

If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that after 24 years, I finally have an outlet in my kitchen island. I know, you are all thinking WTH, you're married to a carpenter. That may be true, but getting him to do work on the house is a challenge. And forget about hiring someone, when he reminds me that he can do the work, lol. My oldest son, who is an electrician, was off work for 2 weeks and he offered to do this for me. Dreams do come true...lol

Now if I could get someone to update my bathroom...

If we were having coffee, I'd also tell you that my youngest son spent his spring break in Portugal with his rugby team. Yes, they played a couple of rugby games, but mostly they did some sightseeing and partying, or 'clubbing', as he called it. They went to Lisbon and Porto. He sent me tons of updates and photos. It's hard to believe that he is done with rugby and I am so glad he got this opportunity with his teammates. I also paid his rent for the last time this week. Crazy to think that this is all coming to an end!

If we were having coffee... I'd share that Cocoa had a birthday recently! She is 7! She's still struggling with allergies and ear infections in that remaining ear, but you'd never know it save for the vet bills. We celebrated by buying her a new pack of tennis balls and a doggie birthday cookie, which she devoured. 

If we were having coffee... I'd share how happy I am that we are no longer required to wear masks at work! Now don't get me wrong, I am pro-masking and will continue to mask when I see sick patients. But it is so nice to not have to mask for well-child visits. Seeing my patients' and parents' faces again after 3 years? Priceless. One of my parents commented that she has never seen my face. Neither has her child. Until now!

Flashback to May 2020!

What would you tell me over coffee? Do you like avocado toast? What bargain have you gotten lately? Any home updates to share? Any family milestones? Do you still have to mask at work?

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.
