Columbian Crisis: Day 2

Posted By on December 15, 2008 at 5:06 pm

It’s my second day without coffee. Real coffee, I mean — not the instant decaf I have on hand. Instant decaf is to real coffee as an AMC Gremlin is to a Deusenberg.
I don’t know how I could have let this happen. I am sorely tempted to find out what Diet Coke tastes like after having been run through a Mr. Coffee.
Tomorrow is grocery day… but I may have to go to the store tonight if I expect to be functional tomorrow.

The horror…

Kismet woke me up earlier than usual this morning. I have had maybe four hours of sleep.
I have no coffee in the house.
None. No instant coffee, even. Just decaf. This is a personal disaster beyond compare, beyond belief.
Sure, there’s a Starbucks five or six miles from here… but a trip out of the house requires a lot of preparation on my part — which might be impossible without caffeine. I’m guessing they couldn’t be bribed to deliver.
I wonder how Diet Coke tastes, hot?
Maybe I can suck on some used coffee grounds.
