A Blue Ribbon Idea

 

I see now what the problem is.  Each morning, I begin my day with a cup of coffee, but when I reach up into the cupboard for a little sugar, I notice the container doesn’t really have enough room.  It is perched right on the edge, like it wouldn’t take much to knock it off.  The glass would break and most likely it would smash my coffee mug sitting on the counter below.  Broken glass, ceramic mug bits and sugar would spread across the kitchen like cops investigating a robbery at Krispy Kreme.

 

Subconsciously this must have an impact on me.  Right away I’m beginning my day on edge.  Nervous that at any moment disaster will occur. I imagine the coffee only adds to my jitters. It’s all very exhausting going through the day expecting the worst.

 

As I see it, I have only one course of action. Move the sugar to a lower shelf and have a cold beer instead of a coffee.  I don’t see a single flaw in that plan.
