i never have to buy paper towels bc i have so many of those napkins they give you when you go to fast food places. and i convinced myself that’s a good thing
@ starbux/coffee shops: - get a “chai" - get a straight black tea - ask for an extra cup or use the doubled cup they give you sometimes - pour half the sweet drink and half the unsweetened drink into the extra cup - make the second half-drink concoction for the other person - have a nice chat w a probably more balanced and tolerable version of the sweet drink together! - also applicable to whatever-spice-lattes + coffee etc
@ anywhere - ginger ale - seltzer - half a lemon - do the same thing! get glasses / extra cups, half ginger ale, half seltzer, squeeze a bunch of lemon for that vitamin C, enjoy refreshing drinks w less sugar!
@ NYC - go to one of those posh cupcake shops w 50 tiny tiny cupcakes on display - get like a dozen or more - sit w your companion and split each tiny cupcake into 2 bites so you get to taste like 12 instead of 6 - recommended w nice hot unsweetened caffeinated drink as palate cleanser
last night like 4am I still couldn’t sleep so I wrote a song while tired as death. will probably take this down tomorrow when better judgement sets in.
