Do you ever wake up so tired and groggy that you aren’t awake enough to make that first cup of coffee? This morning I tried to pour my cup full of hot water into the plastic jar of instant coffee crystals instead of spooning the coffee into my cup. I stopped myself just in time… but not before I knocked over the jar and got instant coffee crystals all over the counter. Wiping up instant coffee crystals with a wet sponge off of a wet counter and into a wet sink was more of a challenge than I needed.

Pouring My Art Out 
Instant coffee is not worth the trouble of making. Get a K-cup machine, then all you have to do is put a k-cup & push a button – voila fresh brewed coffee! Keep up with the times Art!
I am an Arti-fact of the 70’s…
An easy mishap after a sleepless night me thinks 😦
Andro
Mayhap my mishap was mundane.
it’s not kindly to spy on me in the morning after a long night of work but at least you report the actions as your own so maybe you are gentlemanly at core…. 😉
I am nothing if not gentlemanly! And your slip is showing.
LOL, I’ve done variations on this 😉
Well it gets worse as time goes on.
This little coffee incident is only the tip of a huge “golden years” iceberg looming in your fog-bound future, Captain Smith. Call to assemble the band on the Boat deck by the Grand Staircase Be sure to bring lead sheets for “Nearer My God to Thee.”
Jumping like a lemming into the sea.
Lemming was my favorite early founder of the Communist party!
I’m glad you’re here/there. So I am having a dilemma. I’m submitting stories for the fall cycle and sending agent queries for a short story collection. I’ve been removing posts to make them private. Will you, please, look on my blog to see if you can see the fiction tab at the top?
I do not see it.
I will just swim to the iceberg and live there.
my x used to do that on purpose all the time, when the coffee jar was down to about only an inch left in it, he stopped doing it the day the plastic jar melted in his hand! hahaha
That is called Karma… ha
hehehe
ahaha! that’s what you get for drinking instant coffee..
Not always. We have a machine…
that i read you haven’t figured out how to use…
yeah…
chuckle
How about ak-chip machine, hooked into the water line?
Drop a coffee pack in, put your cup under it and push the button.
Can’t get any easier…
K cup, not k chip
There should just be a coffee dispenser that is always ready to go in every kitchen.
How about a Starbucks store in my kitchen?
Then you’d be surrounded by yuppies and wifi moochers.
All. The. Time.
So that would different how?
They never, ever give up a seat.
Not my Lazy Boy!!!
You need a coffee maker like mine. You put the water in the night before, and put the filter and coffee in too, of course.
Then, the next morning you just push the only button… about 5 minutes later you press your coffee cup up to the dispenser and that’s it! 🙂
But I’m never sleepy the night before. So I never think about coffee then. We have one that does that.
Have you ever seen the movie where Rodney Dangerfield goes to college? Something similar happened with the coffee. An instacam would have been priceless, had you followed through.
I never follow through with anything…
Yep! Soooooo tired and hungry, but tooooo tired to make breakfast! Hate that!
Forget flying cars… I would settle for a button you push and out comes breakfast and coffee… a really big button…
I know, right next to the snooze button!
oooohhhh… put the button right by the bed… I like the way you think…
I have ground coffee and poured it into my cup then added the hit water to the French press only to realize I couldn’t find the coffee then ground more coffee. The resulting cup was disgusting.
Ha. I bet there are a million variations on this story. We need to invent a pre coffee coffee wake up thing.
I need to grind and load the press the night before so all I have to do is add hot water wait four minutes, then press and pour. Damn, that’s still a lot of steps to mess up.
We have a pot you can set to make the coffee the next morning… but I have never figured out how to do that… and I lost the manual… sigh…
