I experienced an ebullient moment of discovery this morning! 7:30 AM and I was desperate for a cup of freshly brewed coffee. I could taste it, my body craved it, but knew I was completely out of coffee; beans or ground! I was resigned to not being able to enjoy any of that aromatic elixir, and I knew I couldn’t go buy any provisions for a week or so.
Driven to drastic means brought on by caffeine deprivation, I reached to scrape any residue from the inside of the coffee grinder. Please let there be enough for one lousy cup o’joe! I was a desperate woman, I tell ya!
There is a silver lining to this forgetfulness we experience at a certain age. Although for the life of me I can't remember doing it, at some unknown earlier point I must have ground some coffee beans and left them in the grinder container; perhaps because the other canister was already filled.
So, to find the aromatic stuff … OMG! Ecstatic! I was leaping around my kitchen whooping with glee! Climaxed, I did! OK, well perhaps that is a wee bit over the top. NO! It was orgasmic to find coffee!
Oh my! I can’t wait to discover what other silver-lining things I’ve forgotten! Wheeeee!
