Hec, that happens to me quite often with my tea.

Oh, coffee. Why so finite?

My coffee is notorious for disappearing as well. (Seriously, every once in a while I do get so engrossed in whatever I'm reading that I'm momentarily genuinely surprised that my mug is empty.)

So now we understand when pets complain about empty food bowls (yes, I know - cats will object if the bowl isn't completely full).

I prefer the weekends when if I scowl at my empty cup, TCG will get up and refill it.

Yay everyone getting shots!!
I am more likely to look down and be sad my coffee is still there but got cold. Today I did drink it all though, because I stopped for a latte and a fancy “pop tart” from the bakery (raspberry frangipane!). It’s expensive but yummy on occasion.
I am so excited to hear about so many of you getting shots!! Makes me feel even more like Washington is super slow in rolling this stuff out though. Geez. I’m getting my second shot today!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
David, make another cup of coffee. It will make me feel better.
The all important Second Coffee is something I buy at the local cafe as reward for running the steps (which I am about to go do). When I walk in they ask me how many and I used to say "Three" for my Medium Capuccino, JZ's Medium Latte and Matilda's hot chocolate.
But now that Matilda gets up at 7:30 and runs every morning, she goes over there and gets an iced, blended caramel latte for herself before school.
And even though I've been getting Jacqueline Second Coffee every morning for a year now, she still acts surprised, pleased and grateful when I'm handing it to her.
I’m getting my second shot today!
Wooo!!

Because complacency is so uncool, and you married a deeply cool gal who would never dishonor Second Coffee (or the procurer and deliverer of same) with complacency.

Jesus, now I want more coffee, and I've already had like 3 cups (I love the spring forward time change, but it does fuck up my mornings for about 10 days).

That seems fast! I'm eligible as of April 5 to try to get an appointment, so we'll see.
