Welcome to Open Thread Wednesday, a new feature on the blog.

By Wednesday, we're all getting ornery. Monday and Tuesday have come and gone, but the fatigue from each remains, and the weekend still seems lightyears away.

Clearly, this is the day we need some talk therapy.

You never know what will happen on Open Thread Wednesday.

Today's question: what's putting pep in your step?

For me, it's my bff coming to visit. If she weren't coming, I'd probably say my beloved Damman Frères Earl Grey. Because it is the perfect way to start the day.

Tell me your pep-giver in the comments!
