Bless you, Saturday.  You are a welcome change from the work from home quarantine life.

In the interest of being brutally honest, I’m struggling.  I was doing well, like crazy well!  I loved being forced to be at home with my family.  And mostly, I still do.  But, I’m finding that I’m experiencing wild mood swings and my highs and lows are extreme.  I’m set off by the most minuscule things making me doubt everything and my insecurities are running rampant.  

I understand this is a reaction to the fucked state of the world and it’s stressful even if I try to ignore it.  

A lot is going on with my work and since I’m not the teacher’s pet (which I always always have been no matter what job I’ve held) I’m feeling expendable.  Thankfully, my company was able to get the PPP loan so I know I’ll be employed for at least the next six weeks and even after that I can convince myself I’m good enough to stay on (unless my mood swings the other way and I can convince myself otherwise).  Overall, I need to remember not to work myself up over things that haven’t happened yet.  

For the current moment, I’m having a happy morning and that’s thanks to finding an outfit I feel good in, straightening my hair, putting on makeup and the four cups of coffee I accidentally consumed this morning while I attempted a keto version of dalgano coffee.  

I followed this recipe which called for 2tbsp of instant coffee.  Last week when I asked Kevin to buy instant coffee so I could make this, he (of course) researched to find the best instant coffee which happened to be this Mount Hagen brand which came in single serve sticks.  Turns out it took four sticks to equal 2tbsp and it wasn’t until after I drank the end result that I realized that meant I just drank 4 cups. Whoops :)

My whip didn’t get as whippy as what I’m seeing it could be and I’m sure that’s because I used erythritol instead of sugar.  Oh well, I’d rather not have stiff peaks and stay keto.  The taste was strong and different.  I ended up liking it more by the last sip than I did at the first.�� I’ll make another one for Kevin when he wakes up but will reduce the coffee to 1tbsp since he’s much more sensitive to caffeine than I am.  Even so, this zoomy feeling this is quite fun and a delightful zing.  

Oh and that haggard looking pic I posted of me from yesterday is at the end of a long day at the end of a long week where I was eating dinner with one hand because erp didn’t want to be alone.  

Tl;dr: It’s not always sunshine and rainbows over here, but at least it’s the weekend.

Coffee that went VIRAL, Dalgano Coffee. My wife tried to make this coffee many times but failed as many times. I can’t believe that some people can’t even made this coffee because it it too easy...

Update to my keto dalgano coffee adventure:

Made Kevin's with 1tbsp instant coffee, 1tbsp erythritol and 1tbsp boiling water. After 20 minutes of mixing in both the stand mixer and with an electric mixer it was looking like the first picture. No stiff peaks whatsoever.

So, I added in 1tbsp of heavy cream since I knew it would whip up and it made ALLLLLL the difference. Scooped it into a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and hot damn it was a cool creamy cup of goodness.

Definitely will make this again using the addition of cream.
