Some mornings are powered by calm, intention, and clarity.
And then there are mornings where you start pouring orange juice into your coffee and find yourself holding a spoon upside down like it’s a magic wand.
🥄 The Morning I Invented “Crunchy Chilled Cereal”
It started like any other day: birds chirping, Emma giving side-eye, Ragnar demanding breakfast like a Viking conqueror.
I made coffee, grabbed the cereal, and went to pour milk… only to realize it was not in the fridge.
Found it? In the pantry. Next to the chips.
And the cereal? Snuggled up with the cheese.
I invented a new genre of food: Reverse Breakfast.
🧠 What’s Happening Here?
Our brains run on habit autopilot — until they don’t. Morning fog + multiple distractions = pantry milk.
But it’s not a flaw — it’s just your brain trying to streamline everything… usually too fast for its own good.
