Making coffee

Today was fun! I skipped out on my duties as a mother and housekeeper and spent the day at my coffee shop and worked on getting re-trained. My baristas were so sweet to not laugh at me. I mean it's been almost five years since I was initially trained in the ways of coffee, although I am always surrounded by coffee, it's one thing to drink it and see it and know it, but it's another thing to make it. I suppose that's how life is. My first attempts were kind of pathetic and steaming the milk was atrocious but spending time behind the bar and getting to know my employees was fun.

My life always seems to fill up so quickly with things that need to get done, things that I would really love to get done, and things I would like to do. I try to spread it all out but most of my time gets eaten up with things that need to get done and then piddly things I just want to do for fun but I never commit to them so everything is just half way done and sadly all the things I would really love to get done just keep piling up sitting in the corner eating away at me making me feel stressed. I would say getting behind the bar today was kind of a mixture of all three. I think it's important to make connections with others, getting to know my business better and it was entertaining. All-in-all a good day today!
