Thing number 1. I got up this morning and, as I laid on my bed
and stretched, my sciatic nerve in my left leg said, NO! No stretching and you
are not getting out of the bed today. Of course I ignored that dagger in my
butt and got up any way.
I tried to put on my PJs, (I sleep in the nude) and tried to
lift my leg and struggled to get my left leg in to my PJs. I limped to the
window to look at the rain falling and then limped down the stairs to feed my
cats, Tom and Jerry.
I was going to play racquetball this morning but, my butt
said NO! For whatever reason I am becoming a servant to my butt, specifically,
my pain. It seems that everything on my left side hurts. Anyway, I am going to
sit here and write and then watch football for the rest of the day and suffer
with the pain in my butt.
Thing number 2. After racquetball I was going to go on a 7
mile hike and finish with a picnic. When the food had been devoured I was going
kayaking. Looking out the window, the rain hasn’t stop. I just checked the
radar and all of Michigan is covered and the rain will be out of here by 5 pm.
So, the organizer cancelled the hike and the Kayaking. But, she re-scheduled
the hike for tomorrow. All in all I still might go and walk 3 miles, in the
rain anyway, just because… (I ate two donuts this morning).
Thing number 3. Last but not least, this morning was a good
thing, no, a great thing. A couple of weeks ago, while grocery shopping, I
needed to get some coffee. Since my Keurig died I have been drinking Folgers
Breakfast Blend and ran out. So, I thought I try something really different. Of
course anything Starbucks is out of the question. Sometimes, what you don’t know
may or may not hurt your, philosophically speaking, of course.
As I scanned all of the coffees on the racks in the coffee aisle
and I spotted something different, a coffee I had not seen before. Since it was
$2 cheaper it’s what I wanted, so I bought it. It turned out to be Seattle’s
Best coffee, more on that later. Today, I opened that bag of Seattle’s Best
coffee, brewed it and waited for a bit before I drank it. I was surprised by
the taste.
Talk about the best tasting coffee I have had today, and probably
for the next month, too! I am not a coffee snob, but I know what I like and I
have tasted quite a few great tasting coffees and this was one of them, this
month. Even though, in the back of my mind, I knew that Seattle’s Best was
owned by Starbucks. I Googled Seattle’s Best and sure enough…Starbucks Best.
I don’t know why I cannot stand Starbucks coffee, at their
stores, and I now know why people who drink it add lots of sugar and cream. Now
that I think about it and I’ve had three cups of coffee, (my cups hold 3
cups,), I probably will stick with this brand for a while longer, considering
it is the least expensive of most coffees on the coffee rack.
Oh well, it’s still raining, I guess I will sit here and
watch the last three episodes of Dark Matter and later, Football … and finish
that pot of “Seattle’s Best” coffee.
