Sad but true...


I hate to put this in writing for everyone to see (and point out to me all the time) but it's a true story.
If you know me at all, you probably know that I love coffee. Love, L-o-v-e me some coffee! Especially the good stuff. Ya know, Starbucks (aka Crackbucks for the addiction factor). Well, I saved a lot of money during my first few months of Chemo because the "bad" chemo drugs I had for my first 4 sessions kill your tastebuds (and everything else in your body, good or bad) so I lost the urge for it. In fact, I really missed it, so I would occasionally go through the S'bucks drive-thru thinking after I tasted it again surely I would enjoy it. Each time, I was disappointed. It not only didn't taste good, (no matter which drink I tried) it made me a little sick. I didn't even make any at home for months...It was a strange time to say the least!
I'm happy to say that the coffee cravings are back! Not that it's necessarily good for me, I know, but I don't drink sodas, so I figure the caffeine trade off is fair. It's sad to admit that just having the espresso running through my veins makes me a little happier inside, but it's true...ok, I admit it.
We've all got our issues, right? Don't judge ;-)
