I didn’t have any coffee at all this past Sunday (for reasons), and all I could do was sleep. I could barely even talk when my wife asked me a question. That was the first day in years when I didn’t have any coffee. What if I’m dangerously exhausted all the time, and I don’t even know it? What if I’m already dead and the coffee is the only thing animating me?
