WNBP: Chilly Feets With Notes Of Lemon

It is Wednesday and, once again, it feels like Thursday.  Except today it is a true feeling and not that fakey-fake Thursday Feeling that always hurts so bad once I realize that I'm not as close to the weekend as I thought.  Still gonna knock out a Wednesday Night Bullet Post, though.  You can't go too far with the Thursday Feeling or it loses something.  Here's this week's random tidbits:


*It was cold and rainy today.


*Very cold.


*My classroom was virtually deserted.


*Too cold for kids to venture out, I guess.


*Lots of dead time in a day that should have been hoppin'!


*I wore sandals today because it is May and that is what one does with one's feet in May.


*I was so cold I could do little but complain about how cold my toes were all day.


*Extra time+cold feet=desire to knit socks.


*Yeah.  That's right.  I knit.  


*If you need to get the smelling salts, I'll wait for a minute.


*I put in for a personal day this morning so I could take Friday off.


*Doctor's appointment.


*And a birthday check waiting to be spent frivolously.


*Day was approved within an hour.


*Hence, today is my Thursday.


*Complete with the appropriate Thursday Feeling.


*Had lots of time to plan for my absence today.


*And catch up on paperwork.


*Until I got bored with all that nonsense and sat down to knit with Spunky Girl and the Cheerful Teaching Assistant.


*Figured out a solution to the coffee maker problem.


*It has a fail safe that keeps the machine from running if the cover isn't shut tightly.


*Cover won't latch.


*2.5 pound weight on the lid keeps latch in place.


*Coffee comes out in a blessed brown stream of caffeinated goodness.


*Most everything is rigged up around here these days.


*I'm the master of the "quick fix."


*Now the coffee maker fits in nicely with the classy decorating scheme.


*Should probably put a few strips of duct tape on it just for good measure...


*Thanks for all the suggestions re: the coffee maker


*I am not getting a french press, though.


*Do you realize you are suggesting that I put the kettle on and then GO TO WORK????


*The Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty will see it and think how cool it would be to write messages in lemon juice and then make the magic words appear over the burner.


*Except he'll get distracted and drop the paper to go watch birds and then the whole manse will go up in flames!


*All because someone thought I should get a fancy french press.


*And maybe because it's not only the AGK who has problems staying focused...


*Automatic Shut Off Feature is my friend.


*Otherwise I spend hours and hours not teaching children while I think about the flames licking away at my cupboards.


*OTOH, a french press might be nice on the weekends...


*Maybe with my mad money?


*A nice cup of hot coffee would be good tonight what with the chill in the air.  


*I'll just have to hide the lemon juice from the AGK...


And there you have it!  A Wednesday complete with coffee, cold feet, some knitting and an appropriate Thursday kind of feeling!  I wonder if tomorrow will feel like Friday or if I'll have to wait for the actual day?  I'll have to make a note to myself so I remember to check on the feelings.

Maybe I'll do it in magic lemon juice writing...
