coffee fail

I know there’s something wrong with me. Maybe I’m not sleeping enough. Or maybe I’m just getting older and my brain isn’t working the way it used to. Maybe should eat more fish.

Anyway… Here’s the proof that there’s something wrong:

I make a pot of coffee every morning. It’s not complicated. But over the past several months, once ever few weeks or so, I fail at making the coffee. Either I forget to put in the coffee grounds, or the water, or I forget to turn it on.

But today, I forgot to do all three. Yep, three strikes; I am out. I emptied the reusable filter and rinsed it out, put it back in the coffee maker and closed the lid, then walked out of the kitchen to check my email, facebook, etc. (which I always do while the coffee is brewing).

Well, there is a happy ending. After discovering my coffee failure, I tried again and did succeed in making coffee. I can hear that it’s done brewing now, so I’ll have some as soon as I post this.
