quotidienne: coffee + toast 3:28

i read a lot of personal narratives
on twitter last nite before i went to be
so
i'm in a kind of trying to keep the spirits up mood today
the poke has kinda worn off
i don't feel bad
but
i don't feel very alive
maybe just a tiny tingle of it left

i had strange dreams
i stopped at a donut shop
it wasn't open
because the person with the keys hadn't showed up
but there were employees
all gathered out front

so
i went next door
and james spader was behind the counter
he looked at me
recognized me
and said
pound cake?  cheese cake?
no no, i said
that's a largely apocryphal tale
what do you have that's new

and he picks up this fairly large disc shaped thing
that was maybe a coffee cake
with maybe some berries
but also one of those weird
geletinized layers that you find in japanese deserts
which are great in context
but seemed out of place with this coffee cake thing

so i walked to the side to wait for my drink
and there were so many people waiting
it was a crowd of people
and they were complaining about having to wait

and
i'm like
you know you can make your own coffee at home, right


i'm having 12 grain bread with peanut butter
and
this bread i got from imperfect produce
they carry a few pantry items
i looked for bread because sometimes they have dave's killer 21 grain
but
what they had was sprouted raisin bread
so i thought, hey it'll give me a more desert-y item
that's what i thought
but
it is the healthiest tasting bread i've ever had
dense, no sweetness, no cinamon that i can detect
the raisins only bring it up to the level of sweetness
that you'd expect in regular bread
i am really into it
i think it's vegan too
because i read the ingredients
and there's no mention of eggs or milk
but there is prune juice

also
it is made in a facility which is free from peanuts
or tree nuts, and there was something else
there is, however, gluten
i'm keeping it in the fridge
because bread like that will grow mold fast

haven't really gotten any news today
my briefing just said
meghan mccain is having an existential crisis
