Sad Commentary on Need for Caffeine

We solved the mystery of why we all felt so blah yesterday at Versailles. We usually have our coffee 1/2 decaf and 1/2 regular, but yesterday my mom dumped a whole box of straight decaf into the container from which we make coffee. So unknown to us all, we didn't have our normal morning fix. Let's see ... low grade headache: Check ... irritability: Check ... fatigue: Check. Sad, but true.

But lest you think from the last post that the whole day Tuesday was a downer, Suzie and I went out in the evening and had a lovely time. We walked and walked and then sat for a long time at a sidewalk cafe (we really are getting into the sidewalk cafe thing), and didn't get home until after dark (sadly, the first time that's happened since we've been here.) The weather has turned nicer, sunny and warm, but not humid, and that has done a lot for our spirits.
