Getting off on the wrong foot
I often gauge the quality of my day by how my first cup of coffee goes. If the coffee is burnt or foul-tasting or weak or if there's something wrong with it, it often frames the rest of my day and things just don't go right.
Today my first cup of coffee required powdered Coffee-Mate, because the kids used up all the milk after they each poured bowls of cereal for breakfast that they left on the table and did not eat.
This does not bode well.
