#FFF 75 — early morning reflections
I’m rarely up this early, but the electrician was scheduled to arrive at between 7:30 and 8 so I dragged myself out of my cozy bed at 7 and quickly nuked a cuppajoe from yesterday’s pot. When I nuke yesterday’s coffee, I usually add flavored creamer or a spoon of hot cocoa mix to hide…
