The Taste of Peppermint Bark

I started my morning with a peppermint bark coffee. Funny thing, I used to only drink iced americanos and would turn my nose up at drinks like this. Not out of coffee smugness or fragile masculinity… I just never really liked sweet coffee. But lately, I’ve made exceptions for fall and winter flavor specials.

It was a good way to start the day. I had a productive morning at work where everything felt a little easier, like I wasn’t forcing myself through each task. Maybe the coffee coated me in task-management skills and a drive to fix things, because now I’m on break thinking about all the projects I want to tackle at home. There’s a gutter I’ve been meaning to fix for months… maybe today’s the day.

Just a life update. Trying not to spiral into the “why are days so up and down” thoughts. For now, I’m just riding the good.
