Please don't tell my doctor but...
I have treated myself to a pot of decent ground coffee this morning.
I do have an excuse,
Yesterday I forgot to buy any Ricoré.
Ricoré is a chicory based coffee substitute which looks like coffee, tastes like coffee (alright, it tastes like rather bad office coffee machine coffee) that contains no caffeine.
I've been drinking it as I'm not allowed any caffeine; thus no real coffee or tea.
However, as I've run out (and I suspect that I may have, subconsciously, done that on purpose) I have no option but to drink the real stuff.
That's my excuse, anyway.
The good news is that I'll be turbocharged today and should, as a result, get plenty of work done.

A Hard Look At Yourself
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the director what the criterion was that defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No," said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a room with or without a view?"
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
