the junkie’s dilemma

I’m all out of coffee beans. So, do I brave the 31 degree heat and 38% humidity outside and walk to the supermarket, or do I stay put in my nice cool house and accept the fact that there will be no cup of coffee for me tomorrow morning? I’m prepared to forgo other things I need and eat peanut butter toast for lunch, but the coffee thing is weighing on my mind.

Also, Smersh just tried to eat my toast.

    • Thanks darl, but I’m not sure I’m ready to have a ‘team of personal shoppers’ deliver me a packet of coffee beans when I live eight minutes away from the place.

      I had a friend once who told me she ordered a pizza one night just so the dude would bring her cigarettes. She didn’t eat the pizza.

        • That was back in the bad old days, before pizza came in flavours such as crack, smack and tobacco

    • Two votes for coffee — three if I count the advice to score it online… howcome all my friends are junkies, hmmmm?

      • Sweep the kitchen floor and percolate the pile, on the off chance that there are enough spilled coffee grounds in there to give you a caffeine hit?

    • not a single one of youse is saying ‘get thee behind me, Satan…’ yeah, I’m going just as soon as i hit the 2,000 word mark

      • Get thee behind me, Satan.

        But it doesn’t count beause I’m Jewish and think that coffee is important (besides, you’ve already been by this stage).

  1. As one who lives in the land of 46 degrees (as it were yesterday), go out and get the damn coffee already, you wus!

    Hmmm, it’s only reached 42.9 today? Bliss!

    I for one have been waiting for the heatwave to pass before venturing out. But now that I am out of veggies, meat, eggs, bread, down to my last two instant meals and have broken into the long life milk, I’m gonna have to suck it up and bundle the baby into the car for late night shopping tonight. Otherwise it’s nothing but canned tuna and vita weets … which would make for an interesting diet.

  2. “Also, Smersh just tried to eat my toast.”

    Well, that’s what you get for naming a cat after the dragon from ‘The Hobbit’ …
