I'm barely stumbling awake. I knew I didn't have any coffee but I also knew the office of this establishment has pots of it made in the mornings. It was only a few steps away so I pulled on some short, threw on a top and shuffled into my flip-flops. On the short walk over I ran my fingers through my hair to make sure it was lying flat and pushed the door open to the office. A mumbled good morning came out of my mouth to the lady behind the counter but I did so without raising my head as I made a straight line to the coffee machine. I was tempted to take two cups. They are terribly small cups but I only took one and filled it to the very top. A quick thank you was returned to the lady when she bid me a good day. She must be used to the early morning coffee fiends that can only stumble and mumble on days like this. If she isn't, she just thought I was rude. But I got my coffee and I'm not rude. She can think about it all day if she wants and I'll be off doing other things. Probably searching down more coffee.
