Good Morning, Doofus!
Our #$%& tom cat woke me up (again!) with his yowling at 4:00am. Seems he's gotten in the habit of screaming if he isn't fed every four hours or so.I stumbled downstairs and found that he'd already eaten a whole can of food, so no dice, you stinkin' feline!
Ten minutes later, or so it seemed, the alarm clock went off at 5:15am.
Once again I stumbled downstairs. Must... make... coffee... Folgers... in... refrigerator...
With great difficulty, I managed to pour a half-pot of water into the coffee maker, peel off a filter and add six tablespoons of coffee to the basket.
In the course of putting the jumbo coffee can back into the refrigerator, I bumped it on the shelf.
The can fell out of my hand, onto the floor. The lid popped off. About a pound of ground coffee flew all over the place.
My only thought at this point:
"I wanna go back to bed."

does the cat like coffee grinds?
Well, I have a pup who wakes me around 5 am. I do everything I can to keep sleeping until 6:30, but he's so persistent.
This is why we all need butlers and flying cars.
I've found that violence has a calming effect on night-yowling cats. It's a paradox.
Butlers yeah definitely. Maybe it's that Karma stuff for ignoring your cat......
tanie: If I had ignored the cat, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed at 4:00am to check his food supply! Thanks for dropping by - I'll have a look at your blog when I have a mo.
lester hunt: Violence never solves anything. I intend to very gently place Mr. Loudmouth in a burlap sack, carefully drive to the Cape Fear River and very lovingly throw him in! (I can dream, can't I?)
furiousball: This is but only one exmple of why we need such things!
rhea: Ah, yes, we used to have a dog! Sadly, she got sick and had to be put down. Two weeks later one of the neighborhood cats gave birth to the fellow I described herein!
charlottalove: This cat does NOT need any caffeine!

While sweeping the coffee off the floor I was reminded of this old chestnut...
customer: Waiter, this coffee tastes like mud!
Waiter: Well, it was ground this morning!
Yep, shoulda stood in bed!
Poor guy! I hate mornings like that!
guess nothin landed pnut butter side up that morning, huh?
You know, if it had landed peanut butter side up, I'd have only sat on it!
I did that coffee grounds all over the kitchen floor thing about a week ago. Arrrgh.
I stumbled downstairs this morning, found mouse turds on the counter, noted that I hadn't caught anything in my Havahart trap line, decided I need a cat, intended to make coffee but went to the computer first.
Now I think I'll skip the coffee, and I remembered why I don't want a cat.
Thanks, Craig.
I don't blame you! A person's morning should start off with a cup of no hassle coffee. This is why I set my coffe up the night before.
I haven't seen Doofus for a long time. Say hello for me.
Hey, henry! Thanks for dropping by! And tell Stinkhair Stu and his buddy Relief Ericson I said, "Hey!"
