Yesterday, I was attending my daughter's concert with her new band. It was late, and for some reason, my husband and his friend insisted on offering me a cup of coffee at 23:00.

I said very politely, 'Thanks, I'm good,' and declined.

Then my husband brought it over anyway. I smelt the aroma, thinking, 'This is going to be a long night in an awakened state!'

Boom. The caffeine kicked in. I was up until 04:00 in the morning! 😳

The moral of the story: Sometimes we go against our inner knowing and let others dictate our best judgement.

The result? My husband snored all night long, and I sat up writing. ✍️
