Note to Evening Self from Morning Self (post-coffee)

I have two weak points during a day. One is in the morning before I have my coffee. I don't have problems waking up, but boy am I grumpy before my first cup. But after that cup of coffee, everything usually looks pretty good. The day then progresses, things happen - and little things start piling up. Someone says something. Someone else does something. And I'm unable to let go. Things start circling in my head, and come the evening, I have big problems switching off. I manage to spend time with the kids, but once they're in bed, my mind starts circling around the day's events again. And I know I should just switch off, do something different, re-energize. And sleep. Because I know that after that first cup the next day, it's a new day, and all those irrelevant little things that piled up to feel so big are just that - an irrelevant pile that can be ignored.
