The Backup Coffee

There's an outdoor, late night market of sorts right around the corner from my apartment.  And nestled in between the 7-11 and a Pad Thai food stall is this tiny coffee/dessert cart.  Earlier tonight, I walked up with the intention of ordering one coffee.  I placed the order, having to repeat myself several times to get the point across, all of which is standard in Thailand.

Iced coffee
Coffee, iced
I-coffee


And then it hit me.  Why not have two?  The only responsibility on tomorrow's docket is I need to wake up by 2 PM, so in theory I could stay up until 6 AM and still get 8 hours of sleep.  And in addition to making me more alert, doubling the caffeine will surely boost my mood and motivation to grind.  Great plan.


I rushed home, loaded games, and pounded the first coffee.  Games loaded quickly and I totally forgot about the second one until I stopped to take a break and nearly kicked it over.  Well hello there, backup coffee.  You sound delicious.  A few swigs later I was back registering lobbies and ended up playing all throughout the night.  How'd it go?

















Good enough for donuts!
