Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Remember to open your mouth before drinking and close it after swallowing.

Even after you've achieved coffee in your mouth hole, there's still lag time before the sweet, sweet caffeine finds its way to your brain. Don't make any plans until it does, because that way lies forgetting your keys or going outside without pants.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got myself out to a Restaurant Week breakfast, which was good, but now I just want to sit on the couch for the rest of the day.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Productive morning -- chicken baked, (bourbon honey which we can't seem to crockpot correctly but is delicious baked), sweet potatoes made, children fed all the things (cereal, banana, eggs and avocado), grocery store visited, vacuum happening and urgent care visited.

So, my plantar fasciitis is indeed plantar fasciitis and not heel spurs. Suggestions were what I expected, but no fracture!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

How can one make coffee before you've had coffee? It's not even possible.

The timer on my coffee maker is the greatest invention known to man. I set up the coffee before going to bed, and it starts brewing 15 minutes before my alarm goes off. In fact, the sound/smell often start pulling me towards wakefulness before the alarm goes off.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I know I've told you about the time that I started the coffee maker that made a one cup travel mug, then got up a few minutes later with the mug, then stood there looking at the coffee maker and then to the mug in my hand and couldn't figure out whey there was no coffee.

The status is NOT quo.

That sounds like something I would do.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, you need a coffee alarm clock. Possibly, we all do.

Unfortunately, since I drink a cappuccino what I need is a live-in barista.

The deal in our family is that whomever gets up first has to make the cappuccino. And if they are laggard in this activity, then Matilda will be sent out to inquire on why so slack.

If I only had a brain...

Because the UK's house voltage is over double the US standard, they can boil water way fast. This led to the fabulously steampunky-looking Teasmade, which was an alarm clock that made your tea for you. Very civilized indeed IMHO.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Didn't die on a Stairmaster again, naturally. (David Simon found the one guarantee about this whole wheelchair thing.) Here for bit, then doing fingernails and nagging draft dodging peace freaks in NY to come to this rally against Citizen's United, because that's what happens when volunteer coordinators switch addictions.(That guy is unstoppable, which kind of makes me shrug like "I'm not doing anything else." My lack of a life is the movement's gain.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Morning. I'm sipping my second cup of coffee. Believe me, only incoherency exists before and during my first cup.

Nice to see you all here. And now, back to catch up.
