Technically. One bun is making a break for it, my center bow is crooked, and my cheer uniform is hanging in the kitchen looking far more ready for the day than I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I\u2019m sitting at the table with a cup of coffee roughly the size of a trophy and a plate of sparkly donuts. It\u2019s National Coffee Day, which feels like an excellent reason to take my time before attempting anything that requires coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually I\u2019m all \u201cLet\u2019s go, team!\u201d This morning I managed a sleepy little wave at the coffee maker. It beeped back, so I\u2019m counting that as team spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a few minutes, I\u2019ll straighten my bow, put on the pink and purple, and find my sparkle. For now, I\u2019m enjoying the quiet, the warm mug, and the important decision of which donut gets eaten first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy National Coffee Day!
