The Health Nurse came this morning and I was telling her I had read in the paper a person should drink two cups of coffee a day and sit in the sun for 15 minutes a day. She had never heard that. Well, I had to tell her the following bit of history in the life of Basically Betty.
I did not learn to drink coffee until I started to work at Wheeling Steel. All the office group would stop at a restaurant across the street from the main office for coffee and two doughnuts every Monday through Friday morning. It was a family that ran the restaurant. One of the Sons was a professional Wrestler. A lot of the workers from down in the Mill would stop in every morning not for coffee but for a I guess you would say a shot of whiskey. We were called self-starters but they had to have help to get started hence the whiskey.
So, that is where I got hooked on Caffeine. I drank it black to boot. When I quit work I quit drinking coffee. This latest did not last long. Â I drank not two but one cup two days and decided I got along all these years without it so I will go the rest of the way without it. Of course, if you drop in and want a cup of coffee I have instant, hope that will be OK.
Love and prayers from here to there
