{Liquid Sanity}

Coffee is the one natural {thing} I've been able to find that combats depression {for me}.

No coffee=tired, cranky, short-tempered, unfocused, apathetic.
1 cup of coffee=better.
2 cups of coffee or 1 shot of espresso={PERFECTION} (or pretty dang close, anyway).
3 cups of coffee or 2 shots of espresso=a little much...{WIRED}.

Today, after a great workout, my son and I went through a local drive-thru. I got coffee; he got a smoothie. Win/Win!

My chocolatey liquid sanity had two shots of espresso, however. I momentarily forgot my rule of no more than one shot of espresso!

In no time flat, I went from feeling pretty good to Hammy from Over the Hedge. Once I got home, I morphed into an F5 Tasmanian devil whirling from room to room, magically throwing everything into its proper place.

Sadly~after about 4 hours~my house STILL does not look perfect (I did decide I need to add a 2-shots-of-espresso-day to my weekly plan, though!), BUT I accomplished 2 out of the 3 things on my To-Do list {new plan my MIL recommended: only 3 things on your To-Do list each day} AND my house looks much better than it did this morning!

Back to my FlyLady mantra: Progress Not Perfection!
