1) I make the bed. (Since we're in a studio, if I don't it mocks me and calls me to jump in and warm myself and just "rest my eyes." Evil. So I make it to avoid getting IN it. Yes, we have maid service, but they don't come until the afternoon!)
2) I make my coffee!
I keep thinking that since I'm getting puh-lenty of sleep each night (which I know you'll be happy to hear, Mom) that I'll be a morning person one of these days... After all, Steve's already off to work and earning the big bucks, so I should be able to stay awake, too! But, so far, my body (or mind?) is not cooperating. So the coffee and bed-making ritual help me fake it. (Now I just have to figure out how to avoid falling asleep on the couch...)
But anyway, the other day, there was a kink in my caffeinating plans! I noticed a crack in the spout of my trusty French press, and when I put the plunger in, the spout fell right off in one piece. So I made the coffee in there and then quickly poured it back into the hotel coffee maker carafe over the sink. But I knew this would not do... (and confirmed this after a minor scratch that came while cleaning the pot the next day!)
In this case, I did not want to buy another press (it was $20 and this one was only a few months old!). And sadly, I did not see duct tape as a viable solution for this problem (shocking, I know!). So, I found me some Elmer's non-toxic glass glue and picked some up a few days later and did some minor surgery on my beloved caffeine-delivery-device. (Does anyone else think it needs a nickname?)
Good as new! (Although not as pretty...) Yay for not having to buy a new one! And yay for that awesome handy-woman feeling from fixing something yourself! :)
