I'm Losing It
Background:
Although he rarely drinks coffee, DH gets the coffee maker ready for me every morning. He even sets out a coffee mug for me. When I get up all I need to do is push the on button, wait five minutes and drink my morning brew.
This morning I pushed the on button and sat down to spin for five minutes. When my five minutes were up I came downstairs to turn on the computer and as that takes about five minutes to be ready to use and my coffee, which I placed on the computer desk, would be too hot to drink for about the same length of time, I decided to go back upstairs and spin for another five minutes. I can't stand being idle.
At the end of the five minutes I went to pour myself a cup of coffee and noticed DH had only poured in four cups instead of the usual 6 cups of water. Now I'm wondering, "If he measured in the usual amount of ground coffee, it's going to be too strong." So I boiled some water in the kettle to add to the too strong coffee DH had provided me with. While I waited for the kettle to boil I spent another five minutes spinning. When the kettle boiled I filled my mug two thirds with DH's coffee and one third with boiled water. Then I carried my mug downstairs to the office where I discovered a cooling mug of coffee sitting by the computer. Now I have a mug of cool but delicious coffee DH made and a mug of hot but weak coffee I messed up. To prevent this scenario from ever happening again I have decided I must have a cup of coffee before I have my first cup of coffee.
