I Miss Coffee and Cocktails!

 

I really miss coffee. I am a coffee drinker through and through. I have been known to get into my car in the morning and drive 4 miles to my local Starbucks just to get my fix. Even though I have a perfectly wonderful coffee pot in my kitchen. State of the art, well it does not make espresso but hey that's what Starbucks is for right? I often plan where I need to go by how out of the way it is to get there from Starbucks.  Right now I am really missing iced latte. During my treatment times I can not even smell it with out getting nauseous. I can always tell when I am on the good side of my treatments, I start to want to have some coffee. Today I slammed down a venti iced latte in less than 5 minutes! Yes!

I also really miss cocktails. I am a white wine girl. I love it. I wait breathlessly until five o'clock comes so I can officially say it is cocktail hour. When you are doing chemo cocktail hour is just no fun! I have had two well maybe three small glasses of wine since I started chemo and the guilt alone could kill me. All I can do is think about how I am trying to kick cancer and here I am having a drink. What a bummer. Then I end up pouring it down the drain. Uh What a crime! I should be locked up.

I am really looking forward to July when my treatments are finished and I can get back to guzzling coffee and enjoying my glass of wine on the front porch on a warm summer day!

In solidarity with the trials and tribulations of your recovery, I have decided to have an extra cup of coffee and glass of wine each day to make up for your slack.

Once your treatments are done--you'll start livin' like Elvis. Coffee to wake you up, Wine to put you down. Oh wait, that was quaaludes and speed...well, kind of a soccermom version of Elvis!
