On Coffee And Conversations

Coffee and 2 hours of conversation with a good friend, for me, is the most practical way to unwind. It becomes a necessity for me from time to time.

Last night was another one of those sessions with Det. Come to think of it, we’ve never had lunch, dinner or a movie date in a very long time.

I still remember our pizza and pasta afternoons at Piadina, carbs, coffee and cake at Sugarhouse, lunch at Super Bowl and dinner with the Wachowski girls at Teriyaki Boy. Once, when we were still agents, we (Det, Georgie, Ailene and I) all ditched work and headed to Casino Filipino. It was easier then.

Now that our lives are more complicated, coffee will do. At this point in our lives, I don’t think any of us will call in sick for a chance to play on slot machines.

Work has been very demanding lately and I am so eager to relax. I already had my very rare trip to the salon yesterday, and today I am still thinking about going back for a foot spa and a pedicure. The only thing that’s preventing me from actually doing it is the terrible outdoor heat on a Tuesday afternoon.

It might be too soon to ask Det to have coffee again. I know she was beat from training 80 agents when she met up with me yesterday. Judith is not an option since I know she has work tonight. I am in the assumption that my friends are tired, working or hibernating because of depression. With that, I’m contemplating on going to Starbucks alone… or I can watch pinoy soap on local TV or CSI New York on DVD. Anything to get my mind off work!
