Some mornings don't begin as I would like.
The birds on the lake started their strange calls at 4:30 this morning and as I realized I was awake, wide awake and not happy about that, I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.
The harder I tried the more impossible it became.
I hate it when that happens. It is worse if I do go back to sleep then, because I have some sort of jet-lagged feeling when I finally wake up again. Dragging myself in to start the coffee I felt a moment of pride that I was up first. Until I went back to bed, "while the coffee brewed". Then I woke Fred up (again) and he got up with me when the buzzer signaled the java was ready.
To our horror, the coffee was all over the counter, floor, dish towel and clean glasses and cups that had been drying on the counter the night before.
"I guess I forgot to put the pot underneath the spout" was all I could manage to say, as the final spurts of steamy coffee blew out everywhere.
I was so shocked and freaked that I didn't move.
Fred had to stick the pot under there and grab for the paper towels.
All I could think was....Calamity!
Happy October 1st.
Thank heavens no black cats crossed my path or umbrellas were opened. I checked the calendar for Fri the 13th....it's on a Sat. whew.
My moon must be in retrograde or something.
Maybe I should open my eyes when I make the coffee or put on my glasses.
On a happier note, I did sell the Arsenic & Old Lace Quilt and Doll. It is such a positive affirmation of my work to have it fly out of the shop so quickly and I will give little Hazel a few more hugs and kisses before I wrap her in her quilt and get her mailed to her new Mama. I have a few Halloween Inspired aprons afoot and more cupcakes...But right this minute I am heading for the kitchen to make a nice cup of tea. I am not even going to look at the coffee maker.
