Morning

[mdlbear]

Colleen's fever broke briefly before bedtime last night, but appears to be back now. I'll see whether she needs me to work at home today. (9:45 -- she does, and I am. It's nice to have wireless phones with an intercom feature.)

The Y.D. has taken to pouring herself a big commuter cup of coffee to take to school in the morning. This leaves me with maybe a cup and a half.

The sky was beautiful this morning, with thousands of little scraps and ragged bands of cloud, backlit in the East by the rising sun. The forecast says that it's likely to rain later in the week.

There's something scheduled every weekend from now to the middle of December; the rest of the year will fill up quickly. Time? It's an herb.

Sounds like you need a bigger coffee pot...

And I hope Colleen feels better soon.

I do have a super-size strainer I can use with loose tea, but I don't always fuss with it--I like the brand of Assam tea I get, and it tastes fine from tea bags.

My roommate has a one-cup coffee filter which sits on top of a cup or mug. When she worked full-time as a librarian, she mainlined coffee. Now that she's retired, she has one cup. In the morning.

So she has her first cold in six months. I made a pot of tea this morning and insisted that she drink it or something during the day.

She probably won't listen to me.

I used to use a one-cup filter at work. These days I have my coffee at home, and don't (usually) need any more after I get to work.
