Too much breakfast.
Consider the word breakfast.
Break-fast. To break fast.
I get it.
Alright, my question is, exactly how long without food is considered a "fast" if we must break our fast every morning? 8 hours? 6 hours? 2 hours? An inquiring mind wants to know. A brief Google search has garnered nothing, zero, zip, nada. Much to my disappointment. C'mon Google! I thought you had the answers to everything!?! Good, bad, real or imagined, where's my answer? It's all in the wording. Apparently, my wording will not suffice this morning. But, getting back on track, I ate too much this morning. Cream of rice cereal is... heavy on the stomach. My goodness. Ok, 'nuff of that. Moving on.
WEATHER
Phone says we have 11° to look forward to when we step out onto the Front Porch. Phone also says the skies will be fair, the humidity will be 61%, the winds will be 5 mph out of the West and that we should expect a sunny day with a high of 25.
Ok. Sounds do-able. Not that I can do any thing else but do-able it, right?
Too early for a WIP yet, so I have time to ponder my impulse buys at the Goodwill yesterday. Keepin' the sweater, returning the shirt, undecided about the bath mat, returning the labels, returning the headlamp (not working), returning the adapter (wrong plug), returning the bag of three punches (dull, dull and not interested), keeping the wreath forms, keeping the wooden box (beautiful! will make a nice gift box) keeping the scarf (potential gift?), keeping the single corner punch (it's sharper than the one I'm using so I'm tossing the old one) and I'm undecided about the mini glue gun and glue sticks. Nope. No longer undecided. Keeping the glue gun. It's a hot temp gun. The one I have is a cool temp. And all the glue sticks are multi temp, so they should work in either gun.
WORKS!
As riveting as that last paragraph was, I must be on with the morning "prep for work" ritual, which includes the taking of several potential WIPS, the downloading of all potential WIPS, the careful scrutiny of all potential WIPS, the selection of todays WIP and finally the posting of the chosen WIP, good bad or otherwise. Then there's packing a lunch, the pouring of a bottle of Britta water, the re-brushing of the teeth to remove todays breakfast, the skate to Trusty for a brief warm-up before travel, the washing of the breakfast dishes, the pouring of the remainder of my coffee into an empty water bottle so I can make a cup of iced coffee with it at work, the peanut-buttering and cutting up of some stale bread to toss to the Crows I've come to love at work, the folding of my load of laundry (if it dries in time) the inevitable hunt for Phone and Camera, the taking out of the trash as this is trash day and finally the drive to work. Oh, and the 10 minute coat, glove and scarf bundle-up against the weather. Ok, I admit I exaggerate, but it sure feels like 10 minutes.
Now, as riveting as that last paragraph was, I must MOVE IT!! NOW!! Or risk being late!
Camera warned me it couldn't focus.
Phone did a little better.
Three things before I go. First, don't wash your hands immediately prior to grabbing a metal storm door handle in 11° weather, as you risk losing the skin that sticks to said handle. Second, 11° is NOT short sleeve weather. And third, avoid pants that turn to ICE in 2 seconds in 11° weather. It makes you walk funny.
Have a great day Travelers!
