There are four ways my day can start out. If you see me in the morning, as most people at work do, you can know exactly how I’m doing based on my coffee.

No Coffee (not really) And by no coffee I mean no coffee at work. This day has not existed in about a month, maybe more. This is of course, my most impressiveRead More
