I didn't have a bad day, persay. It was just one of those "I-dont-wanna-get-out-of-bed-fine-I'll-get-out-and-go-to-class-ARE-YOU-KIDDING-ME-class-is-canceled-anyways" type of day, you know? When you drag yourself up and somewhere, and it was ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY?! It was one of those days.
So, I got home around 7 today after leaving my house at 9:30, and after skipping half of my trabajo voluntario (shh). And I WAS STARVING. Couldn't decide what I wanted to eat, or drink, or whatever.
And then I remembered something that had soothed my soul only a few weeks before: Mocafe. A mocha, made with Nescafe. Sounds disgusting. Is a bit disgusting. Yet is somehow, at the same time, delicious and refreshing. So I turned on the hot pot & boiled some agua, added the Nescafe mix, a bit of hot chocolate mix, and a drop of milk. Viola! Happiness!
When I first got here, I found comfort in speaking English, Skyping my family, and being around people I was 100% comfortable with. A little later, it was my routine of classes and micros, and walking through the city that I knew. And now? All I want are Mocafes. Who AM I?!
It's the little things in life that make us happy!
ReplyDelete100 years ago when I was in the Army, we used to make a version of that from our MREs - powdered hot chocolate, coffee and instant creamer. Mix in water. If possible, heat up, if not - drink cold. Either way - tasty!
