the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad morning off

enough said...

There is nothing worse than waking up late on your day off, stumbling into the kitchen for a hot cup of coffee and realizing that The Flood: Part 2 has taken place in your kitchen.  Not only did your pipes freeze, the sink has backed up and overflowed into the drawers and all over the floor.  And of course you don’t own a mop because you don’t believe in deep cleaning more than once a year, so the old towels from the bathroom are enlisted to do the job instead, which means that they then have to be washed.  Yet another load of laundry.

 

In addition to the above catastrophe, the coffee filters were in the drawer under the sink and are now drenched.  After a brief and fruitless attempt to make do with instant coffee, your non-coffee-drinking husband, armed with the debit card, is on his way to the grocery store in search of 2-cup coffee filters.  Then you get the first phone call: Ingles doesn’t have 2-cup filters.  You send him to Food Lion.  The second phone call: Food Lion has the filters but their computers are down and they are only accepting cash and checks at the moment.  After many choice profanities, you yank on your coat, grab the checkbook and go get your own damn coffee filters. 

 

Thirty minutes later, finally caffeinated, you sigh and settle into your chair.  All is right with the world.

DANNNNNG. I can deal with SOOOO much but when things go awry with the coffee - uh no. This was very funny - and I can relate to mornings similar to this.
