Re: Coffee as watering water.

True, most mornings I don't get up much before 7am, but even at times when I
have to get up at 4:30am for whatever, I plan to have that time for myself
to gather my thoughts, feed the cats, read the paper (if it has arrived that
early), have breakfast, and drink my coffee.  I find that I don't need the
coffee, it's just routine.  When it is that early or I'm in a hurry though,
I might just have 2-3 cups, and I make 2-3 cups.  the difference here is
that I never make a full pot since there is just me..  I make only what I am
going to drink.  So there is no leftover coffee.  And I never take coffe in
the car with me.
