Some things are bloody sacrosanct
So I've been cutting back on my coffee consumption again. Yeah, I know, I've been in and out of rehab several times on this addiction. I was even completely clean for about six months once. Green tea - fake decaffed - seemed like a healthier option. And it was working for me, mostly, I slept more and peed less. But I missed the caffeine clarity and I honestly do love the flavor of coffee. But I'm weak, and somehow I was back chasing the dragon full time. *sigh*
Recently, however, I've been playing this little game with myself. Brew tea in the morning all but once a week and if I'm really good, I'll get a coffee out somewhere on occasion. It's mostly working.
I realize this is a long set-up for today's drama, but hey, it's Sunday morning, I'm chill. Marley's on the stereo and it's a beautiful, autumn morning.
So I grind my beans. Stumptown Trapper Creek decaf, which is maybe the best decaf out there. Burr grinder, of course. Because I'm an unabashed coffee snob. Unbleached filter. Cold water. And I open the basket to put the coffee in and ---
A BLOODY SPIDER CRAWLS OUT OF THE THING!!!!
What the fucking fuck?!
He's dead now. I didn't even hesitate.
Coffee's good though. I might live now.
