PROBLEMS/CHALLENGE/LET'S CHAT:
I feel a little lazy, I went to Yoga but even in Yoga I felt my body was tired. I am happy to see that even in the days like today that remind of my old regular days when I was so lazy and I would absolutely not change to go to the gym, I take my time to change and go. Right now, I rather close this pc, walk to my bedroom, shut the shades and fall on my bed to rest for at least 30 mins. I am not doing it!

Instead, I am seriously thinking about drinking coffee. I am a colombian, most colombians, 95% of colombians drink coffee. I drank coffee when I was a child. Yes, you, you and you, all judging my parents. I did. Children used to drink coffee back in my country. It was an essential part of breakfast. We used to have breakfast, real breakfast, with fruits, juice, bread or arepas, and a protein. Either, eggs, sausage or even what we call 'calentao', which is the day before leftover food warmed up all on the same pot. Trust me it is delicious! Anyway, coffee always part of your regular morning. Now a days, I am not sure how households are but I know my immediate family does not provide coffee to the children. 

My drinking coffee stopped When I was 2 years in my college years. It was too much for me, to much food and the coffee would insert itself into my veins and make me feel I had to rush to do everything and I would get anxious if I did not rush. I always, go to Seinfeld's episodes to refer to something that happens to me or to explain what has happened to me in the past. Well, do you remember the episode where Kramer settles on a lawsuit and receives coffee per life, anytime he wanted. Do you remember how bumped up in caffeine he gets? Well I feel the same with just a little bit of coffee. Then I decided to cut it and start having other type of breakfast. Ever since, that is what I have cereal. Today, I feel I need a little bit of rush in my system, just enough to get me going. My deal is that sometimes it doesn't matter how little amount of caffeine I have, it is good enough to cause me insomnia, which it sucks! Let's see.

Update: I did not drink coffee, apparently while I was writing this I didn't feel so sleepy anymore. Also, forgot to mention that I may have to switch my sweet day to Wednesday, because of my daughter's birthday. I just bought the cake and it is a creme brulée cake that I cannot stress more the difficulty I will have to endure in order to say NO to that cake. Good luck with that!

Who can say no to that cake? I am not a cake fan, and I can easily say no to cakes in general. This one! Not so much. OMG it looks so yummy! Once my daughter saw it, she asked if it was vanilla based and immediately she said "That's my cake!"

Well f- it  I think I will have it and like my daughter, I cannot wait to have it in my mouth. A funny thing would be if after all, it does not taste as I think it is going to taste.
