A Pound of Thoughts

Here I am, sitting at home working away on my computer. Today has been kind-of uneventful, although I did get quite upset at (one of) my credit card companies. They automatically withdrew some money out of my account, which I had the understanding wouldn’t come out until June. Oh well, such as life. Nothing I can do about it, since I did owe them a payment. But, the quicker it gets paid off, the better. I just have to keep in mind that I’m getting a refund from the IRS! So, in another week and a half, I’ll forget about this little stunt they pulled. Sometimes I just can’t help but wonder – Am I that much of a pushover?

Anyways, I’m having a hard time coming up with something to write about. There are a lot of things out there that I can write about, but would it be interesting? But then again, this is my blog. I could write about anything I want! So, I’ll just do that.

Yesterday I came home from work, apparently pretty tired. My wife and I both laid down to take about an hour nap (neither of us set an alarm clock). This was about 6:30 I guess. Well, she got up around 10:30pm (she told me this morning) and I was still asleep…she said I didn’t move an inch. Well, next thing I know, I’m waking up at 6:30 this morning! Whoa! I must have been tired…

I proceed to get up and go into the kitchen…I take the coffee filter tray out of my coffeemaker, empty the old grounds, and wash out the canister/tub that holds the coffee. I fill it up, and pour the water into the tank. I look in the coffee ground storage pot – and it’s empty! I really didn’t feel like grinding up any more coffee beans, but I was really in need of a caffeine fix. So, I open the fridge and get the beans out. I pour them into my grinder and grind them for about 20 seconds…I like my coffee extremely fine. Now I can make my coffee! I can not describe to you how much a satisfaction it is to drink freshly ground coffee in the morning – It’s just so refreshing!

Well, the rest of my morning was dedicated to updating my Microsoft Money software and reading blogs. I just find it very relaxing to get a peek into other people’s lives and see how it compares with mine. Some posts make me laugh; others make me sad, while others really get my brain juices flowing.

Slarti, I must tell you that your post “Infantile” was really an inspiring post.
