Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[vehve]

Mine is pretty bad today...

Can't be worse than mine, which somehow morphed into a can of Mountain Dew. Considering that the temperature outside plummeted into the low 40's last night (that's like, 5 or 6oC) this just ain't cuttin' it!

I'm out of nespresso capsules, so I found a opened package of coffee in the closet. We've lived here for a year now, and since I hadn't used my regular coffee maker during that time, I borrowed it to a friend who's coffee maker broke. So I took the coffee that has been opened at least a year, and boiled some water, and poured it through a sieve with a coffee filter and said horrible coffee. The end result is coffee that tastes exactly like the crap they serve at gas stations.

 

[Bunnylady]

So, tell me again - why are you storing gasoline in your closet? Sounds dangerous.

 

[vehve]

Might be dangerous, but it really starts you up with a good jolt of energy in the morning

 

[Bunnylady]

Ugh. There used to be soft drink called "Jolt." Its selling point was that it was made with sugar, not HFCS, and it had twice as much caffeine as the other sodas. Now they've dumped the fizz and call them "energy drinks." Gads, they even come coffee flavored - seems kinda twisted to me.

Happy Sunday to you and everyone! Drinking a cup of coffee turned the heat on this morning.

I'm not a big fan of energy drinks, they taste pretty bad usually in my opinion. But they have their uses, when you need to stay awake exceptionally long I think it's okay to have one, but if it's something you need every day you might want to consider if there's something wrong with you. I mean they taste horrible.

A very crispy morning here. Had to wait til the temp hit 32oF before sending hubby out
turn the girls loose this morning, brrrrrrr. Think we will attempt a trip to town today.
We figured out how to get me into Walmart!

I can only go a few feet with the walker
because my "good" leg has a damaged knee (my horse fell on me when I was in my 20's,
had surgery that they no longer do because they later figured out it eventually destroyed the
joint-no kidding) and won't support my full weight for more than that. Anyway, our Walmart
will let hubby park in front of the door and drive their electric cart out to me!

Wow. you just don't realize how great the little things we take for granted really are until
you lose them, like being able to go grocery shopping. I've always tried to give a helping
hand to anyone who needed it but now I have a whole new understanding and empathy for
those struggling with either a temporary (like me) or permanent physical disability.

Happy Sunday !!!

The coffee is always better on Sunday.

Just brewing in the Chemex and it smells very good!

Mine is pretty bad today...

How sad! I hope you get some good coffee today.

Can't be worse than mine, which somehow morphed into a can of Mountain Dew. Considering that the temperature outside plummeted into the low 40's last night (that's like, 5 or 6oC) this just ain't cuttin' it!

Mt. Dew? That is the new Dr. Pepper?
