A log in the coffee
Nov. 20th, 2006 09:52 amI just went downstairs to the Fresh City in the lobby to get some coffee. I have my own way of doing it: first I put sugar in the cup, then I add hot french vanilla coffee, I stir that in (with a plastic knife, rather than those useless stirrers), and finally add half & half and milk.
So this morning, having done all that, I looked down at the coffee and saw an off-white log of some unidentified congealed substance, floating at the top. It was about the size of the last two joints of my little finger. There were a few other, smaller pieces floating in there, too.
What could I do? There was nowhere to pour it out, so I paid for it, took it upstairs, and drank it. It tasted kind of funny, but what the hell.
So that's why I'm writing this from the hospital now, with an IV full of antinausea medication and saline stuck into my arm.
Kidding! Actually I took the coffee over to the people behind the counter and asked them to dump it. They took care of that, then replaced all the cream. I got myself a fresh cup, and it was fine.
So how's your morning going?
