Age + Activities is Directly Proportional to Pain + Suffering

I am beginning to understand that a longer recovery time is directly proportionate to an increase in age and activities. The first year I went to the Bead&Button show I was completely fine the next morning, but now... Well, it’s been several weeks since the show closed and I’m still not quite up to snuff. I started feeling the effects during the show and tried to compensate with dark chocolate covered coffee beans. Although delicious, it’s a slippery caffeinated slope and I’m once again drinking fully caffeinated coffee in the morning. In preparation for next year, I need to start looking for a portable espresso machine...
