Life saving fluids!!!

Let me just tell you...today is my last shift. Kinda sad, but mostly excited. Anyway, that's not the point of this blog. As I often do, I spent the night before my shift at work. It saves me from having to get up at 4am to be here on time. I woke up this morning completely out of it. And, get this...there is NO flavored creamer. And my partner is still sleeping so we can't go to the store. What is an uncaffeinated girl to do? Well, I remembered that there is a coffee shop within walking distance to the station. So off I went.

I opened the door and the rich, tantelizing aroma of caffeine greeted me. Mmmm. My mouth watered already. I ordered the same drink I do at Starbucks (a triple venti non fat with whipped toffee nut white mocha). This woman behind the counter...this barista, this goddess, asked me if I wanted the 4th shot free. Yes, that's the 4th shot of espresso. I don't know if she saw how exhausted I am, or what, but I graciously took her up on her offer. Well, as gracious you can be when you are drooling and your eyes are half open. I'm fairly certain you could hear things rattle in my head when I vigorously nodded. And, let me tell you, this coffee? It's GOOD. Oh. My. God. I wonder if I can take this coffee shop with me to SC?

We went to Hershey park yesterday. It may have been our last time there this summer. Once we come up for Christmas, I'm pretty sure we will go then. (They do a special Christmas thing) We had fun. We definitely stayed in the sun too long, but what can ya do? Wyatt is getting on more and more rides geared towards big kids. *Sniff* I really want to camp at the campground next year, but we will see. A lot of it is going to depend on what happens with Randy and work.

Ah well, I suppose I should get on with getting stuff done. And remember, if you have to call 911 today, and your EMT shows up bright eyed and bushy tailed, thank a coffee lady.
