Constant mental debate

While washing the dishes, I had an important mental discussion with myself--as you do, when you wash the dishes. I was contemplating whether I should go to a coffee shop later for lunch and grab something to go or just stay put. Now, there are certainly pros and cons with either option which mostly center around economics. Do I want to spend an extra $3 for an espresso-based drink that I do not prepare myself or reserve that money for when it is the only option? If you examine the nitty gritty of it all, both options entail some cost. Now the question is, which will elevate my quality of life for today? Which will give me that little happiness that I think I (and everyone else) deserve. By my line of argumentation, you can already see my bias today (it changes by the day, you know). My bias is the now. The present. That part of life that I can never take back. Guffaw all you want. This is serious. For now. What is all this "making a mountain out of a mole hill" business all about? Well, I deliberately spent time thinking and writing about an ordinary thing and actually felt good that I captured it. A smooth escape, akin to a previous post by my past self a decade ago.
