A Coffee Date With My Niece

When I am going home, there’s distraction everywhere. It’s a good distraction though and I appreciate it because I have not seen my family quite often. The only downside of being surrounded with them is that there’s always some celebration, events, or things to do every damn week. I know that I wanted to be more social but it has been a challenge. So, this weekend I was also invited to attend my nephew’s birthday party. It was all fun and I enjoyed it. I ended up offering my niece, who is now older, to pick her favorite cafe in town and I would have coffee and she can have anything she likes.

I wasn’t well-caffeinated and that’s why during the celebration I wasn’t wide awake. It was simply hard to function. ¡No hay café no buena! Not to mention, the house was blazing hot. I tried not to be grumpy but in the end, the event ended at around 2PM. Then me, my mom, Ray and my niece went to the cafe and especially me to get some shots of caffeine.

My niece chose a cafe called Eazy. They have the best Creme Brule coffee. But this time, I ordered a roasted almond latte while Ray got his caramel macchiato and my mom with her favorite taro.

My niece picked oreo cookies and cream and also a spaghetti bolognese. The roasted almond latte was refreshing but also sugary. It didn’t really fix my caffeine cravings and I ended up still sleepy after drinking them. Maybe it was a good thing because I was also trying to fix my sleep.

While having coffee, I was talking to my 9 year old niece who told me about tiktok. She’s got a huge following over there and I was a bit surprised. She sounded even more mature than her age. It was nice catching up with her and Ray who is now overly busy with his job at the bank.

Me and my mom got to hear a lot of funny stories from Ray and his complaints about the pressure working there. I hope to see my niece more next year as she is very fun to be with. As you see, coffee brings people together!
