Two Mornings, One Day


It’s the little things that screw up an entire morning.
Take this morning for example.  I forgot to put my scoops of coffee in the coffee maker last evening—as I do every evening.  Not knowing this, I poured water in the machine, poked the power button, and stumbled about listening until the machine stopped hissing and gurgling.
When I finally drifted back to the coffee maker, I found a carafe of very hot, slightly tinted water.
What the?!?  
How could I forget coffee?
So, I started my morning all over again.
Step one: two-and-a-quarter scoops.
Two mornings, one day.

  1. Some mornings making a pot of coffee is like trying to push marbles up hill. My favorite (not really) trick is to forget the filter and throw the coffee into the basket.

  2. Oh...I have done that. Something like that makes you want to just sit somewhere and cry.
