The AH Coffee Shop and Reading Room 02: A Comma (is a Restful Pause)

[MagicaPractica]

I don't watch many movies but i just watched one I have to recommend to any and all. "Meagan Leavey" It is based on a true story of a girl and her dog. A bomb sniffing dog.

No, I am not crying. I have something in my eye.

I'll look for it.

Morning folks. Off to work.

 

[TxRad]

Afternooner all,

No, I didn't trip and fall again. Housemate decided that I needed to stay in bed this morning so she could cuddle carefully. I was showing her the upside down and backwards cuddle when Houseguest showed up for breakfast. After that, all bets were off on careful and everything else.

I left them sleeping as I went to make coffee. For brunch earlier, I had toast, with butter and blackberry jam. I've actually gotten a little writing done. Don't you just love inspiration at it's highest level.

What an adventurous life you lead,, Sir.
I'm almost envious.

Now then, where've you hidden the coffee pot ?

I need to complain.

Had finger surgery (threw off my stroke hand, which is funny, because Larry David just had an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm about how men can't make that switch to their off hand, it's impossible - so true) so, I made my follow up appointment for today and I get there 20 minutes early only to be told by the receptionist that my appointment was yesterday, at 10:30am. I tried to tell her, 'That's impossible, because I was at a dentist appointment yesterday at 11am, which I told you about over the phone which is why we made the appointment for Thursday at 10:30am. In 20 minutes.' - she's wearing a cocktail dress and looks like she just woke up. She says, 'I'd never tell you that, because the doctor never comes on Thursdays.' - I just stare at her. - 'I can fit you in Monday at 11am, is that okay?' - 'Well it has to be,' I say, 'because I don't have a time machine, do I?' - she widens her eyes and is probably staring me the way I was staring at her and I say, 'Fine.' and I left, to drive 10 miles by street back home hitting red light, after right, after red light.

The end.

Receptionists? Cannot get a good one these days. . . .

Receptionists? Cannot get a good one these days. . . .

You can. My sister in law is still a receptionist several days a week in her local doctor's surgery. She organises the doctors, the nurses and the patients - and the other receptionists.

She is thinking of retiring next year on her 80th birthday. The village won't let her.

I know of one Doctors' Surgery where she could be useful. . . . .

Hidden coffee pot? Glasses HP, glasses.

Can anyone give me a reason for red velvet cake?

 

[NotWise]

It's supposed to be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow than it is today. I'm trying to enjoy the last warm day we'll have for a while.

Hmm. Red velvet cake. Maybe it's for people who don't want to have black velvet cake in their neighborhood--much less in their kitchen.

As good a reason as any I guess.

Yeah, we need to talk to Bear about shutting that damned door up there in the PNW. That's where all the cold air is sweeping in from. Supposed to be in the mid 30's by Sunday night.

Ah - glasses; yes. I was wearing the wrong ones.

'Cos we've run out of Black dye, ?

PNW ?

We've been told to expect the onset of Winter ourselves, as of Sunday next.
And I've booked my 'flu jab. . . .

Wrong glasses happens to me also.

Pacific Northwest.

The last flue shot I took was back in the early 70's. I ended up in the horsepital for four days. Nope, none for me.

I just hope they've got the right gunk this time. . . .
I hate having 'flu.

 

[sharingfantasies]

No flu shot for me, thank you. I can't remember the last time I had the flu, but it has to be a couple of decades. You know darn well that if I got the shot, I would get the flu.

Temps supposed to drop next week. Left the heater on last night for the first time in months.

 

[TxRad]

Fresh coffee and a fresh kettle for the morning crew. I hear a shower calling my name and then bed time.

I have a 'non-freeze' heater in my (insulated) shed; the electronics has not suffered so far. . . .

Ah - the coffee (note that this time I have the right glasses, please).
Many Thanks

 

[TxRad]

Morning HP, let me freshen the pot.

All is quiet here for the moment so it looks like I might get in some writing time.

Laters.

 

[oggbashan]

Last night I submitted a new non-contest story. Unlike my recent ones it's just a short scene for crossdressing/fetish. But the main plot item is a commercial product used as the manufacturers didn't intend.

More coffee available while I go back to writing for the Winter Holidays contest.

Well, I have two titles in my head and no plot bunnies yet. "Now is the Winter of our Discontent" and "Winter is Cumming". Make that three. "Christmas Stuffing." And for the third I have a bunny. Hmmmm. No aliens this time. Just a Xmas dinner.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Lunch, latte and editing. I've picked my agent, now I just need to convince her.

Don't forget the "Christmas Goose." It will make you jump for joy.

It's time for a Nooner. The day sure went fast. Lots of writing accomplished. I'd probably still be pounding away, on the keys that is, but, and there is always a beautiful butt.... The naked Housemate. Uh, oh yeah, Tomato soup for lunch.

Ah; tricky, that.
I'm stuck.
Can't get my head round where the story goes.

Aahhh Coffee.

Coffee the magic lubricant for the brain.

Balzac springs to mind. More coffee. Making notes for my winter story plus a few more.

 

[Handley_Page]

Oh Lord;
I have [so far] identified four possible ways for this story to go.

It's driving me nuts.
I wonder if I might work on a different one for a while ?

Meanwhile - A nice cup of Tea. And maybe a biscuit.
