I guess you could say that I am fueled by coffee. I think I started drinking coffee at the age of 13 or 14. I tried tea for a while but I just never liked the taste that much and to this day I prefer black tea to tea with milk. So coffee it was and has been to this day. I usually drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day. That is if it's in my big cup. If in smaller paper cups then it can be 5 or 6. I remember that I had once had 7 big full cups of coffee in day - by night I was so wired and strung tight, like a violin, that I couldn't sleep at all!
So yeah, waking up is just a rubbing my eyes, going into the bathroom, washing my face and brushing my teeth - all the things that are necessary hurdles before that first cup of coffee. I get that in my favourite big black cup and come to my room, fire up the laptop and sit in my chair. I place the cup on the desk, wait till I log into my email and take that first sip - ahh! That's life force surging through me. It's like a suffocating person being able to breath pure oxygen once again.
My first cup is always with milk. Later in the morning I will get a second cup, which will be stronger, sweeter and black. That's the one that decides how energetic I will be for the rest of the day. This one is usually drunk a lot slower. In the evening I have two cups; once again the first one will be with milk and the second black. The second one is usually after 7pm and that's also the usual time that I do the majority of my blogging and I need the extra fuel. 4 cups is enough. I don't think I need more than that but I do need that first one in the morning to properly wake me up.
