When She’s Right, She’s Right

This morning L’s Mother greeted me with a cheery, “Good morning!” before noticing the mug in my hand, the mug I only use with the coffee maker.

“Oh,” she said. “That’s not your ‘good morning’ mug!”

There’s No Shame In Using A Crutch When Something Is Broken

Now is the time of year here when I drink coffee so I can breathe and function through the all the pollen in the air. Does that mean I’m using coffee as a crutch?

Absolutely.

I Did Eventually Say It Once I Could Say It While Laughing AND Getting An Understanding Laugh From Them In Return

As I predicted, I do feel better today, and I’m still chuckling at one particular moment from yesterday:

The moment where after making a fresh pot of coffee I stopped myself from telling the adults of the house (who had drank my previous pot of coffee) that “The coffee is fresh because you’re a [Insert Dire Insult Here].”

I Think I Deserved It

1st Cup Thought:  I’ll just have one cup of coffee this morning.

2nd Cup Thought:  Since apparently I didn’t see the bug in the coffee pot, now that Lala has made a fresh pot, I shall now have one bug-free cup of coffee this morning!

So Two A Day Now Is A Little Different From Two A Day Then

Jokes about my caffeine intake aside, I really have scaled back.  These days I measure my intake in (literal 8 oz.) cups as opposed to pots.

Fortunately He Didn’t Drink Much

This morning I found a dead moth in my coffee.  While I am happy to report that this didn’t ruin my morning, I have decided to excuse myself from having to make any witty observations and/or pithy comments today.

Because At That Temperature I’m Surprised It Wasn’t Just A Cup Of Steam!

Fortunately I knew to be cautious when I asked for a fresh cup of coffee to replace one that had been served to me tepid, and a good thing too!  My replacement coffee was not only hot enough to violate industry standards, but it came close to being hot enough to violate the laws of science.

Maybe Even Less

Today I read that somebody calculated that you could heat up a cup of coffee if you shouted at it constantly for around a year and a half.

I’m pretty sure we all know people that easily do that in half the time.

I May Be Asking Others For Help Later Today Though

Some day I’m going to learn to set aside my excessive pride and just ask for help first when I need help.  Today I practiced this by asking coffee for some help.

After Two Cups Full, I Was Ready To Go!

(No, the news isn’t cheery of late.  I’m not in denial . . . I’m being obstinate!)

Today I discovered that doing without morning coffee isn’t so bad when you substitute it with morning cookies provided you keep the doses the same.
