Card and Coffee

The time has come to start posting on this blog again. It has been far too long.

CARD

Several weeks ago, I needed to go to Urgent Care (for a UTI, in case you're interested) since we had just moved and I didn't have a doctor yet. I have a debit card that I use specifically for medical stuff so when the time came to pay, I opened my wallet to grab it but couldn't find it. No problem, I used another card this time. I was, however, concerned about the whereabouts of my card.

Give that we had just moved, I figured it must be in all the boxes somewhere or with our big pile of assorted gift cards (etc) that were in a bag back at the hotel. So I searched and searched but it was nowhere to be found. My next plan was to log in online and cancel the existing card and order a new one (good timing since I would need to update the address anyways).

Before I got around to doing that (but several days later), I am going through my wallet, which, mind you, I had opened and looked through several times the day of the appointment, and lo and behold, there was the card, staring at me in the face, RIGHT WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

Apparently I forgot what it looked like or didn't recognize it?????

COFFEE

One morning (last week or the week before) I was making coffee and, per usual, emptied the old grounds, ground new beans, filled the tank with water, and clicked brew. After it beeped, I excitedly went over to pour myself a cup but it looked ultra weak (!!!!!). What had I done wrong???? I knew I ground enough beans, right??? didn't I? Oh. Look. The beans were still in the grinder.......... Well, that's a mistake I'll never make again!

Several days later. Same thing.
