Everybody gets stuck in a morning routine sometimes.  I get up, take a shower and dress, then I like to make some coffee, sit at my computer and catch up with emails and maybe write a little before I have to go to my job in surgery.  This morning was no different, or so I thought.

I went through my normal routine, showered, fed the dog and set about making the coffee.  Everything seemed okay till I realized the little red light on the coffee pot wasn’t working and it wasn’t making any noise, not good! Then I thought, maybe just one cup from the Keurig, sure that would be fine.  Hmmm, that didn’t seem to be working either.  Then it occurred to me that there was something wrong with the power outlets in the kitchen.  With that in mind I dragged the coffee maker into the guest bathroom and finally got my coffee.

After I had finally drank my first cup and my brain began to function again I had a thought…the GFCI. Yep, all I had to do was push the stupid little button on the outlet and all my kitchen outlets were once again functioning normally.  What would I do without my favorite little miracle beverage to help me start my day?
