Yaaaay coffffeeeeeeee!!! Thank god because I've been a wicked grump with a migraine for days because we've had no beans. Or, well, I'm about to find out if I've been a grump with a migraine due to lack of coffee, or if it's because that's just what I do!

Zelma What was the verdict? I am just a grump without coffee. 😉☕️ 8y
hgrimes @Zelma I think I might just be a chronic grump, but the coffee definitely toned down the angst at least! And I only had a mild headache today, so that's a win! 🙂☕️ 8y
Zelma @hgrimes embrace the grumpiness and always have emergency coffee hidden. 😆 8y
hgrimes @Zelma You give EXCELLENT advice! 😂 8y

And she even wrote in the cover, possibly because I complain about how people don't do that often anymore! ❤️
