Help! I'm Having an Existential Coffee Syrup Crisis
I wake up every morning looking forward to a nice glass of vanilla or strawberry Kachava followed by a piping hot cup of coffee... flavored and sweetened with my homemade vanilla syrup.
But the past several days, there was no morning spark. My beloved morning ritual had soured.
Last week I decided to quit using my homemade sugary syrup. I must have had a brain fart because there was no notable triggering moment that led to this decision. Sometimes I just get a bug up my butt and think making a change is a good idea.
Little did I know, this choice would create a major bump in how I greet each day.
In place of my homemade syrup I've been using flavored stevia - the same stuff I used 10+ years ago when I lost 158 pounds. I loved it back then but something has changed. I'm sure that something is me.
As I write this, I'm watching the steam waft upwards from my hot cup of stevia flavored coffee. I've taken a couple of sips but the joy has been replaced with a sickeningly sweet, somewhat bitter taste on my tongue.
It's time to end this crisis... my mind is made up! They say life is short so go ahead and eat the cake. I'm simply replacing the cake with my homemade syrup.
This cup of junk is getting dumped. I'm going to make my homemade syrup and start this day over - even if it takes me til noon to do it!
Thanks for listening,
Connie 🌼
