swestrup | Bad Morning, No cookie!

So, morning came too early today. I got to sleep around 6:00 yesterday (actually this morning) and woke at 12:30. Thats not really enough sleep for me, but I've been getting up later and later, so I decided to get up and get myself some coffee. Well, there wasn't any coffee waiting, which is what I expected, but there also wasn't any coffee in the freezer where we keep it, nor was there the container we keep it in. I looked around for the container, but didnt see it. Then I foggily remembered

taxlady saying that we were out of ground coffee and would have to open the emergency stash or grind some beans. Well, I had found some beans and the location of the emergency cache didn't come readily to mind, so I measured out and started grinding beans.

I had just finished when my SO, (woken by the noise, no doubt), asked why I just didn't open one of the new packages of coffee she had bought yesterday, and was I planning to take another try at the sink? She then promptly went back to sleep. So, I made coffee with the grounds I had just ground, and bailed out the sink while waiting for my coffee to drip. Then I noticed that the sink plunger was missing... So, I threw up my hands, got my coffee and went upstairs to sulk. If I'm going to deal with things when I first get up, I need them to not have large amounts of complications attached...

(BTW, yesteday I thought to look up advice for dealing with frozen kitchen drains on the Internet. "Probably all they will say is pour salt down the drain", I thought. Sure enough, that's what they all recommend. So, why hadn't I ever tried that? I dunno, so I tried it. So far, no luck.)
