Why I Need Coffee This Week: Quarter Crunch, Panda Plans & Appointment Shuffle

This week is shaping up to be a lot. I’m closing out the quarter, which means my days are packed with back-to-back meetings and trying to get all my numbers in before the deadline. My brain is already begging for coffee. ☕

On the bright side, I get a little break from the chaos to go to the DC Zoo with my cousin and her boyfriend. I’m so excited to see the pandas—especially since the last time I saw them was years ago with my cousin. Honestly, that throwback memory is making me even more excited this time around.

Then there’s my usual weekly medical appointments… except two of my Friday appointments got shuffled to other days, which is totally throwing off my rhythm. Cue more coffee. I feel like I need a detailed schedule just to keep track of everything.

And can we talk about fall for a second? I’m officially in that season of debating whether I need a hot coffee or an iced one. Some mornings I want the warmth and comfort, and others I crave something cold and refreshing to get me through the day. Either way, coffee is going to be my constant companion this week.

So yes, this week? Definitely a coffee week. Between packed meetings, pandas, and the appointment shuffle, I’m running on caffeine and anticipation. But if there’s ever a week that deserves a good cup (or three), it’s this one.
