Coffee Black and Hot...
Did you ever have one of them mornings where you couldn't make your eyes stay open? You feel your way to the kitchen so you can make the coffee, you locate the coffee filter and it comes lose from the rest of them in the pack, on the very first try. Usually they are all glued together! Then you get the lid off of coffee can with out damaging your finger tips. The little measuring cup is right on the top and you manage to get the coffee into the filter basket without spilling it all over the counter. You get the water in the pot with no trouble at all and the switch on. The pot works perfectly, first time in a week!
You shower and do all that other stuff, You open the door with only your flimsy little bath robe on and peak out to see if anyone is watching. You see no one, so you streak out and get the morning paper. And now you are ready to set down read the paper and have that first cup of coffee for the day. You have to look for the cups as they have been moved. The one you have always used is no where to be found and this is disturbing to say the least!
Okay, it's no big deal, you take out one of them souvenir cups that has been taking up space for so many years you can't remember. You know, the ones with all that advertising or pictures, so you take the one with the old broken down horse on it!
You set the cup on the counter and reach for the pot. You are standing in your stocking feet and the next thing you know, you feel something Hot and Wet. At first you think you are walking on hot coals, that is when you discover you have that dam cup upside down! You do a really funny dance and whoop and holler, with your hands waving in the air.
You need first aid for your feet and the first thing you think of is a tub of cold water. No, don't do that, it would be one of the worst things to do. Without knowing it, you have made it to the chair and the telephone is right there. You call the 911 number, but you are talking so fast they can't understand you.
It seems like an hours before the ambulance gets there and then off you go to the emergency room. They rush you into the examining room and ask you what happened, You try to tell them, but they are not listening and they don't really want to know.
First! that person from the billing office has to know, Do you have insurance and checks to see if you owe them any money and get all that other information. Then a doctor will poke at your feet and ask, does this hurt, he ask? He couldn’t tell with you almost jumping off the table.
They put what looks like, a pound of butter on your feet and wrap with bandages. They seem to feel better, but you can't stand on your feet. Both are wrapped up like balls and that feels just like what you are standing on.
You are ready to go home and they hand you the bill! Yes, You look at it and your heart stops for a minute or two, but if you say anything they call a code BLUE and they will use them dam electric paddles on

you. That will hurt and cost a lot more. Now you are thinking, I had a pound of butter at home and clean towels. If only I had stopped to think, I could have done this myself. When you arrive at home you peek at the bill again, it hadn't changed any, it still says: $1,642.00 and that didn't include the ambulance charges.
Remember when you said: "If there is such a thing as reincarnation", "I hope I came back as a dog!" Well a dog has four paws, you had better come back as a bird!.... Yeah and it's only Monday and you have a whole week before you !
