I woke up this morning so groggy. I’ve been working 6 days a week anywhere between 40 and 50
hours, which in all honesty is perfect.
It affords me time to hang out with my roommates and friends, I can go
to the local brewery and listen to live music and still do all the yard work
and house cleaning that I must do to keep my rent low.
However, I am tired sometimes. And this morning was one of those tired times. I even had a couple shots of espresso,
and still I’m groggy. I have been
playing with the idea that I hide from my emotions by sleeping... So whenever I get
tired/exhausted/sleepy, I’ve been checking in with myself to see if there is
something that I’m feeling that is not quite present to my conscious mind. And more often than not I realize that
I am sad or frustrated or angry at some thing or another.
When I am emotional it’s so nice to have someone to talk to
or in my case to hash out why I am indeed feeling emotional. It’s also nice to be reminded to stay
present in the moment and feel those emotions. The coffee shop affords me both of these things. I must stay present in order to know
what I’m doing and remember drinks and do them well. But I also, LOVE how many friends, old and new, come into
the coffee shop and chat with me.
I love when they sneak behind the counter to give me a hug. I love when they tell me I look nice
today. And I love when they sit
and chat with me at the counter between customer rushes, and I love the
conversations we have. Thank you
to everyone who comes and sits and chats with me at the Backcountry Coffee
:) <3
Another reason I love working at the coffee shop is that I
love to make latte art and to make my drinks super tasty!
I’m not this good yet, but these are things I aspire
too!
