Chapter 266

• Dreaming aside, it was time to get up and ready for the day. The twins were probably going to 'punish' me again this weekend, so I needed to be ready. This time, I was going to surprise them with a gift. It is kind of my going away present for them, since we won't be seeing much of each other after they both head off to opposite ends of the country. I would stop by the Jewelry store on the way home to get them something sparkly!
• After rolling out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom. Did the usual 'three S's' (for those of you that don't know, look it up. I learned this one in the Navy) to get ready, and checked my reflection in the mirror. Again, I wasn't a super-model, but I think I pass inspection. I got dressed in some cargo pocket shorts, a Tommy Bahama T-Shirt, and my lounging sandals. I was all set to do...nothing! Too bad I had to go to work first.
• I nuked up a breakfast sandwich I had in the freezer and had some coffee to go with. I had recently gotten one of those Keurig brewing machines, to replace the old drip machine I had since my Navy days. I had to special order my own KONA coffee blend, and got a little cup adapter to use my own grounds. I know that all sounds complicated, but it allowed me to continue making my favorite coffee, just one cup at a time instead of a whole pot. The other up-side to it was that my coffee was ready a LOT faster.
