no NSD today. I came to the office for the first time after 2 weeks, and I bought breakfast, fruit and even a fancy coffee (which I never do). Oh, the horror! Jokes aside, I felt I needed it and quite enjoyed it, especially because I rarely buy these things now when I come the the office. I will try for NSD again tomorrow.
