coffee

woke up feeling like a train hit me. finally got some coffee started. it was the last in the bag - it was all i had. after i started it, i heard a strange hissing noise, but i thought it was just some vehicle outside swishing on the snowy wet roads or something. when i went back into the kitchen, i saw that i had not put the coffee pot underneath. the hissing was the sound of coffee falling on the boiler and burning.  i put in the coffee and the water and started it, and the coffee had filled up the filter basket all the way and was beginning to overflow. the basket has a button underneath that stops it from flowing if there is no pot under there, but only for a few minutes till it fills up and overflows. that happened. i at least still have the coffee that's left in the basket, so i put the pot under it and let it drain down.

i hope the rest of the day goes better...
