The battle cry of the neighborhood football game on kickoff, but I am crying foul this morning I want a Newie! Woke up this morning with a sore throat and a stuffy nose (nothing some fluids, zicam, and PSE can't fix). Saw the wife off to work with a kiss, came upstairs and started my coffee. Flipped on the TV to catch up on the DVR since its raining this morning and cold in the 'burgh. Eating a serving of 1% skim cottage cheese (4 points) and waiting for the coffee to be brewed.
Sizzzzllle...sizzzllee....crack....sizzzlllee ...Coffee pot is unusually loud this morning, ehhh its nothing...sizzzzle sizzzle...water dripping....WAIT A MINUTE...water dripping!!?? Dash into the kitchen to see a counter covered in coffee and the filter bucket of the machine overflowing grinds and coffee all over!! Ok unplug it, clean it up, no big deal. Wow its amazing how much surface area coffee can cover on a counter top. Pick up the dish rack to clean under it (should have emptied it first) the silverware rack on the front takes a dive into the sink...CRASH!! At least it landed in the sink, and doesn't appear to have broken anything. Step left, squish! Nice dry sock into a puddle of coffee under the counter that I didn't see. Joy. Toss off the sock, clean up everything, restart coffee.
Coffee is brewed, pour a hot cup and head back to the couch this should get me going and turn things around for me. Finish an episode of Top Gear and off to the kitchen to make a little more food. Thinking about an egg and a piece of toast no butter to satiate this hunger this morning. (1 egg 2 points, Small piece of whole grain toast 2 points). Throw a skillet on the stove top warm it until water sizzles on it, grab the carton of eggs, only two eggs left. Pick up an egg and slipppp...crack...down to the floor it goes. Nice early morning dexterity there Ron. Since there is only one egg left I guess I will just take the whole carton to the stove with me. Toast is done, egg is sizzling, dash of hot sauce. Let's dine!
Going to finish this last cup of coffee, but only after I put the laptop away, I can't afford any more accidents this morning. One more show on the DVR then off to run errands and if I can breath when i get back knock down a 3 mile run on the treadmill which should earn me a few more bonus points for the day. It never fails I always feel more hungry when I am not at work.
It can only get better from here! Crossing my fingers!
