Poof! It's gone.
I rub three time. Nothing. I do it again. Nothing. I whisper a prayer. nothing changes. One more time, to no avail. Wait! I have it somewhere. I’ll look for it. My magic eight ball. I find it and ask it if I will be able to write today? Its reply, “without a doubt.” I do it again and ask the same question. “Outlook not so good.” This is insane! Make up your mind, already. Final time, “will I be able to write, today?” I turn the wicked little thing and get, “Concentrate and ask again.”

I am confused. The entire world spends billions on a holiday, that should not even be such. Not one person, can tell me why they do, or why it is celebrated to begin with.

The Dangers of Not Having Your Coffee
5:30 a.m. and my husband coos at me asking if I am awake. I am now, but barely. He tells me he is off to work, checked the fire downstairs, and that is will be fine until I wake up (until 7:30 a.m.). Cool. I set my alarm for 7:30 and head back into some delicious dream, I can’t remember anymore. No I would not tell you, even if I could remember the dream)
