Addiction to Coffee
We all have something that we must have in a certain way.
My addiction is my morning coffee. Steve doesn't really care, one way or the other.
But at slightly less than 3 years of age, Dylan told his less than 2 year old brother Aidan: Don't talk to Grandma yet, she's still drinking her coffee.
This week I decided to do the long process of cleaning our brewer, once breakfast was over.
It was working just fine until the fateful moment when I pressed start.
It made a strange sound and sputtered. Steve said I put the water in wrong. So he took it out and put it back in.
Didn't help, at all.
Then we did what all our generation does: pulled out the manual and trouble shooted. Nope.
Then we googled it. Nope.
Followed by going on YouTube. Nope.
Steve then did what a great husband should do (with a wife who was panicking about her coffee needs)! He went into our Amazon prime account and ordered a new unit.
We just had to wait 3 days!
I had a doctor's appointment the next morning. I took myself to Starbucks and got a venti. Steve figured I wouldn't be able to manage my purse, canes and 2 hot cups of coffee so he went coffee free
The man is a saint!
Next morning we met friends for breakfast. The restaurant had decent coffee in very large mugs. Bless them
Our new coffee maker came that afternoon. Steve set it up immediately. We tried it after dinner.
Turns out the new model has two things I always wanted in the old one: The ability to both make it hotter and stronger!
We'll be trying out the carafe tomorrow morning. Steve said I shouldn't make 12 cups when 8 should suffice.
Seriously? He knew enough to order a new machine but then thinks 8 cups is good?
Basically, thanks to Steve's quick thinking and our Amazon account, my impending withdrawal effects were avoided.
Other news, I really liked our new dentist. She took the impressions for my crown. This means that in 3 weeks, I will have an end to this year long dental adventure!
