(gag) cold coffee surprise

for self future reference, even if you get really wrapped up in a project at work and an hour flies by, your coffee isn't spared the effects of time. took a quick swig and wondered if that's what dirt tastes like. cold sweet n' low liquid dirt.

i wonder what the tried and true ingredients of a good, happy life are. the basics seem to be family and love and health (not money, never money). and i wonder what kind of timeline and dreams other people foresee in their own lives and how big or small or simple or complex they are. the little things have never been enough to keep my attention or keep me happy longer than a few weeks or months. so what's the thing that i've always felt was missing, like i have a lot of the pieces and i know what i want the puzzle to look like, but most of the pieces are blank or blurry. it's confusing. not in a bad way, i just want to know what my invisible blueprint in the great universal library says.
