You create a beverage of the coffee variety. This beverage you are aware does nothing for you alertness, but you are going to indulge in it for its flavor. You mix a variety of things into it, a base of expresso, some whipping cream, sugar, some instant coffee drink powder, a bit of water, chocolate syrup all blended together and poured over ice. You place it at your desk ready to enjoy it. You are then summoned by someone else in the house to address a different task. After completion of the assignment you are reminded of a different endeavor you had abandoned months ago, not for lack of interest, something had pulled your attention away from it. You go down the rabbit hole of revisiting information with a new set of eyes and begin to fixate on the subject once more, some time passes, you are unsure of how much, time doesn’t really exist you are either doing something or you are not, those are the two types of time you know, either moving at astronomical speeds or stopped dead in its tracks. None the less you are drawn back to the present, you remember the beverage you have prepared with now a bit of dread, you return to your desk failing to complete the preparations for the other task you had left unfinished prior, once more it is unfinished, but this is no longer at your minds attention. You are back at your desk now and your head is now running through the various tasks you have assigned yourself at the desk with fleeting attention to each as they come as quickly as they go. You look back at your beverage with mild dismay, not fully shocked by its state but disappointed at the very least, all the ice has melted and your drink which had started a cool fridge temperature even before ice has now rose to an unfortunate room temperature. You sigh and take a sip of it anyways, not utterly repulsive, but it is past its optimum flavor and temperature, you won’t be wasting it though, you have already used resources to make it.
