Enjoying My Coffee This Morning

I have been up for awhile sipping on coffee. I just refilled my mug and have cup number two here waiting to be enjoyed. The sun is trying to come out here but it will then sneak back behind the clouds. I'm hoping it wins this battle since we have more rain on the way tonight and tomorrow. We need a little bit of sunshine! Nothing exciting going on here today. It will be a good day to work around the house, both indoors and outdoors. I plan on heading outside as soon as my mother wakes up. If that doesn't happen soon, I'll go entice her with coffee. That usually works. My hubby will be back this evening from another overnight trip with work. I will fix a nice dinner and thinking about a chicken and sausage jambalaya. We haven't had that for awhile. The last time I fixed it he happened to go to The Jambalaya Shoppe for lunch and wasn't too excited about my choice for dinner. Whoops! I'll be online a good bit today, so looking forward to reading more of your discussions! What do you have planned for today? Photo Credit: Pixabay, public domain

We are having too many gloomy days! Rain is back here and was supposed to be an all day event. However, radar indicates that it may be just about out of here. I hope so!

@LindaOHio That's true, a wee bit more light every day. I'll be happy when March and April gets here. More light. I have more energy then and more time to do things.

I can't drink more then one mug of coffee a day. If I drank it black I could but I add sugar and powdered creamer and milk. It's not good for me all the things I add in so I limit myself to one a day. I hope your husband enjoys what you make for dinner. I think I'm making taco acorn squash.

I only add creamer to mine or half and half actually. No sugar goes in to mine. Dinner tonight will be jambalaya! The last time I made it he ate it for lunch. LOL. I confirmed on that before I put it on this time.

@kareng She has an ear infection again. I knew what it was. Poor thing is very close to the ground and being part beagle almost always has her nose down. So she often splashes water and mud into her ears.

I haven't had my coffee for two days. Lately I mainly drink lemon tea since we are still in vacation. I don't have to work and therefore I don't have to drink coffee to make myself awake I have a good sleep and actually I can sleep for a longer time. Coffee is not so necessary for me because I am already energetic

That is good that you don't depend on it to stay awake. I drink it mainly because I enjoy the flavor and it is something hot on cold winter days. I don't drink much at all in the summer. One cup usually does the trick.

So this morning I was so tired, when I got up I went into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Then I went back into my room and shaved, brushed my teeth and got dressed. Then, forgetting that I already made a cup of coffee, I went into the kitchen and made another cup of coffee. I then realized I had two cups of coffee sitting there! Needless to say, I drank them both!

I swam this morning while it was sunny, and planned to myLot between breaks of scrubbing the guest bathroom floor. As it turned out, I was invited to lunch with friends and hung out with them all day. I did finish that floor pretty quickly!

@just4him Yes, you just throw everything in the pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let it cook until rice is all done. Very easy and quick meal!

Jambalaya is probably my favorite way to eat rice. Rice and gravy is a close second if not a tie though.
