Black Coffee
I opened the door, and the little bell above rang loudly and the man at the breakfast bar turned his head slightly while stooped over his steaming hot coffee. The waitress in her baby blue diner dress and white apron waved in my general direction and said to me “Just sit anywhere hon.” Her eyes showing her disdain that she had yet another customer at 3:30 am and wouldn’t be bothered to hide it. She pursed her lips and curtly asked me “What’ll be?” as I climbed onto the seat at the far end of the breakfast bar.

Routines and Mental Health
The word itself can fill you with a sense of gratification, or a sense of frustration, especially in the days of Covid. For those of us with mental health issues, having a routine, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, can be the difference between a good day, and a really bad one. I myself struggle to keep a routine, even when knowing just how important it is to my mental health. When I am on track, I feel great. I feel accomplished. The depression and anxiety take a back seat to the productivity and gratification that comes along with seeing a clean home, and a clean body in the mirror.
