The kitchen light is on again and you'd bet your favorite mug you flipped that switch off an hour ago. Now you're standing there in your socks, squinting at it like it owes you money, trying to remember if you actually turned it off or just thought really hard about turning it off.

Welcome to the Leftover Lights Theory, where your brain is basically a browser with 47 tabs open and only three of them are working. The rest are just frozen there, pretending to load while you wander around the house flipping the same switches multiple times because your memory has the reliability of a chocolate teapot.

Here's what probably happened. You walked into the kitchen this morning with approximately zero thoughts in your head except maybe "coffee coffee coffee" on repeat like a broken record. You grabbed something from the counter, your hand might have touched the light switch, and your brain logged absolutely none of this information because it was too busy trying to remember if pants were required for the day.

Pre-coffee brain is not to be trusted with important decisions. It will convince you that the milk goes in the pantry and the cereal belongs in the fridge. It will have you searching for your phone while you're talking on it. And it will definitely ghost you on whether that light switch got flipped or just thought about getting flipped.

The solution is obvious and probably delicious. Get the coffee in you before attempting to operate household electricity. Your energy bill will thank you. The potential fire hazard will thank you. And that light switch will finally get some consistency in its life.

Today’s coffee notes: Tanzanian

Somewhat similar to Kenya coffee, Tanzania coffee also exhibits a bright and vibrant, wine-y acidity. Sometimes even sharp, and with a deep, rich, and strong taste.

Typically it has a medium to full body that is intense and creamy. A fine Tanzania coffee has tasting notes of a sweet berry-like, fruity flavor and sometimes notes of cedar.
