Coffee Broke!
I don't do well on less than 4 hours of sleep. Not well at all.
Last night before I stumbled in to bed, I tried to put the coffee up for morning. It's something I do almost every night, it's the routine. So, I put the beans in the filter, put the filter in the holder, and started to put in the water, when I realized that it already HAD water in it. Odd. Then comes Beast's voice from the front room.
"The coffee pot is broken."
Huh? ~blink~ ~blink~ HUH?!?!?!? BROKEN!?!?!
Obviously she was mistaken. So I turned it on and watched it do....nothing. Oh the little light came on giving the IMPRESSION that it was doing something, but believe me, it was doing NOTHING!
I clicked it off, then on again. I stared at it. Unplugged it and plugged it back in. I touched it. Shook it. Reset the time and program. Finally I asked MOTH to look at it. I don't know why. It just seemed like I had to do SOMETHING!
He looked. He shrugged. He said it must be broken. BROKEN!
I've never had a coffee pot break. I always get tired of them and get a new and cuter one. I know, that's just silly, but it's true. I've never had the same coffee pot long enough to have it break. And I was NOT liking the feeling.
So then I had that horrible night of nonsleep. And when I finally dozed off, sometime after 4, the phone rang and woke me a 7:30. SHIT!
I once again tried to cajole the pot into making me some java, but NO! I did what any other lazy slob would do with a day off. I played pyramid solitaire until my eyes crossed. The, around noon, I slothed out of my chair and went out to buy a new coffee pot.
It was really weird, because as soon as I got into the air conditioned store, I had a case of the sweats like I did last night. Really really bad. I mean I had a dewy LIP for chrissakes! I could feel sweat pouring down from my armpits, and when I passed the mirror, I could see that my shirt was wet all the way down the back. Isn't that a lovely thing?
I got the new pot, and moseyed over to the GoodWill store because I had never been there and I wondered if I could find anything of interest. Just a $3.00 pair of jeans. As I left the goodwill, I realized I was sweating even more, and I was a bit dizzy. I quick check of the clock found it to be late afternoon, and I had yet to eat anything.
I know when I got home I should have showered, but I didn't. I should have put on that new patch, but I didn't. I should have eaten, but I didn't. And MOTH will be here in a few minutes and I am going to catch hell for not taking care of myself. But it was a vacation day, dammit. I just wanted a day where I didn't even have to care for me, yannow?
