Distractions

So I find that I really can't work at home. I figured, maybe I can trick myself into believing that I'm at a cafe instead. I made myself a cup of warming chai (yum) and mini assortment of biscuits and three pieces of Lindt orange dark chocolate thins. I've got some bossa nova playing in the background and an extra chair for me to rest my leg on. Maybe I should put my bag on it or something, I don't usually rest my leg on chairs in public haha. But alas, it's not the same.

Maybe it's because I can get a FREE refill on this stuff hahaha - the tea, the snacks. Maybe it's because I'm not spending any additional money. I'm not doing my part to help Hong Kong's economy. It MUST be that guilt. I keep looking around. I'm too comfortable here. I'm still in sweats. I could change, but I just showered and want to remain in this cozy state. Yup, definitely not the same.

Well, I'm going to switch gears and paste this huge to do list on the wall so it can stare me in the face and motivate me a little. I had only meant to type a little post about how eating those tea biscuits reminded me of back in Bayview Glen when we had "cookie breaks". Yumyum. I loved being in charge of getting the cookies - there was a big assortment and no one ever ate the ginger snaps or oatmeal cookies. The oreos, chocolate chip, digestives and arrowroot cookies were the first to go. Not to mention the apple juice. From concentrate. Ah. Those were the days. Free snack time. Life was simple then.

Edit: Oh, I know what's missing now. The coffee aroma. That's got to be it. The roasted coffee smell and the sounds of the coffee machine and the occasional whiff of pastries. Yep. Got it down to an art. That's what's missing.
