Sometimes I feel like such a slug when I read what people have accomplished today. I finished the work week. Yeah!!! Then I came home and fell asleep on the couch. :|

I got out of bed when the alarm went off (please, hold your applause till the end)
I ground some beans and made a cup of drip coffee.
I'm drinking it slowly and admiring the sky.
