The best(?) part of waking up...

Tweet

Years ago, there was a particular brand that routinely ran commercials that used the jingle "the best part of waking up..." I am thinking of that this morning not due to having had a cup of that particular brand of coffee but due to something else. I was barely awake when I realized that I smelled the odor of something cooking-- reminiscent of barbecuing. Was the husband cooking? Wait, no that's not right. After the popcorn incident, he's really not allowed access to the stove except to make coffee... As the realization struck me, I bolted out of the bedroom into the kitchen. Since we are in a small apartment, that wasn't as much of a sprint as that sounds. He had left the burner on after making some pour-over coffee. The now-completely-devoid-of-any-ounce-of-moisture kettle was halfway on the burner getting singed. Meanwhile, he's sitting just feet away off in his work zone-- completely oblivious. *Sigh* When he gets overwhelmed with work, he gets like this. He does weird stuff that just boggles the mind.
