#i hope everyones staying warm and healthy

Working on my last chapter for my honors thesis–and I need to email my advisor back. Not exactly looking forward to spring semester starting on Wednesday but it’s my last one!

Also I’ve been worrying about getting sick, esp with how much I’ve been working bc I can feel my immune system taking a hit with all the late nights and less than stellar eating/drinking/exercising (which I’m honestly not super good about anyway lol). So I’ve been drinking lots of orange juice and I’m sharing what’s in my cup (and what it’s inspired by lol)!

So I used to work at a coffee shop and we had a (admittedly unpopular but it was on the menu) drink called a creamsicle, which you made like this:

• Fill a 20oz cup with ice
• Add a shot of vanilla (probably about 2oz? We didn’t measure we just counted to three)
• Fill with orange juice
• Top off with half and half

And it’s good! But that shop closed at the beginning of covid and I’m at home without regular access/need for some of these things, so I’ve been using a smaller cup with no ice, and just adding whipped cream to my orange juice for a little bit of the vibes. And it’s really getting me through some of these mornings (plus my coffee lol I have at least 2 mugs a day these days)
