I wake up these days and start the coffee really early. Then I start waking people up for the day. My granddaughter is usually up when I get up at 4:15… If not she gets the first wakeup call.
At 5 am I start the second pot of coffee even though I have yet to pour my first cup. Then it’s off to the bedroom to wake the wife.
Twenty minutes or so later it’s time to wake the grandson. And about twenty minutes later my daughter brings us the youngest grandson as she leaves for work.
Just before 6:30 it’s time for the two high school bound to head out to the bus. And at about this time this morning the sun was beginning to lighten the eastern horizon.
Then it’s back in to amuse the baby for awhile. Sometimes he’s having a bottle, sometimes not. But the next hour or so is dedicated to his amusement… Or just letting him sleep in my arms.
And yes… I have been known to nap right along with him…
By 8 am he’s at daycare and I’m on breakfast duty. While I eat I’ll usually catch a YouTube video on something I find interesting.
And so, after about 4 hours, I am ready to think about a muse… But the coffee is usually about gone…
So, here I sit at about 10:30 a.m., on the front porch, in 70° weather. Putting together my excuse for the lack of regular Coffee Muses.
Though, 70° on the front porch on February 18th is not a bad place to find yourself. But that being said half my day is gone and I need to get on with it.
So… Y’all have a good day, stay safe, and if you’re in my neck of the woods.. stay cool.
