Once again, my insomnia is working overtime......
I know that topping this thread this late is probably bad form, but I have to relate the "Worst Coffee Story Ever...."
It was yesterday morning, 3:00 am and I woke up to a stupid Labrador licking my elbow. Normally, I just smack her on the snout and go back to sleep, but she did it a couple of times indicating that she needed to go outside and take a leak or something.
I stumbled to the back door yelling "DOGS OUT"and both of the hounds followed me to the door and and then outside. I locked the door, fully intending to leave them outside for the rest of the night.
(Stephanie will let them out and then stay up for a bit and then let them back in. Not me. [fuckin' dogs])
At 3:30 am I woke up because I thought I smelled something burning. Instantly awake, I hopped out of bed and took a cruise through the house. Nope......nothing on fire. Looked down, and realized I was naked, (it was cold too, but I would appreciate it if you all just keep any remarks to yourselves).
No smoke, no fire, no dogs..... No dogs on fire.
It took me a few minutes, but I finally figured it out. We sleep with the windows open when it is cool outside. At first I thought it was one of the neighbors with an open kitchen window and a coffee pot on "auto".
When I figured out that the smell was coming in ALL of the windows, I remembered that there is a local coffee shop 2 blocks away that roasts their own coffe beans in huge kettles. Last night the wind was blowing opposite from the normal direction.
Coffee definitely wakes me up in the morning...
