hot chocolate

Decide to have a cup.
Old big brown mug? Or crisp white?
Which chocolate? Yes, the Cadbury drinking chocolate.
Pan, cold.
Milk from fridge.
Milk is leaking...damn...clean fridge shelf. Clean countertop.
Find jug.
Wash jug.
Pour milk in jug.
How will they know it's in there? They are accustomed to the carton...
can imagine Mom! NO MILK!
Find china marker.
Write on jug.
Measure milk.
Measure chocolate.
Add more due to Cadbury's flagrant disregard for the needs of women when writing instructions for making chocolate drink.
Add more again. Certainly their teaspoons must be of a different size than mine.
Scald milk.
Pan will now need scrubbing as I have forgotten to swish water round it to keep milk from scalding. Asshole.
First mug off the shelf cracked and dirty, though it is just out of the dishwasher.
Second mug only just cracked.
Pour milk all over counter. Some lands in cup.
Counter needs scrubbing now too.
Sit down to enjoy solitude and chocolate.
Phone rings.
Middle needs to be picked up.
