On the stoop, she’s still wearing her prom dress. It’s after eight and it’s dark. Through the window in the living room, she can see her brother crouched over his homework, doing his best not to watch her get soaked in the rain. Her mother, she knows, is just inside in the hallway. But Jake told her he’d be there to take her. Not that she could go like this now, not with her mascara running. She can’t see any headlights on the road even standing up on her tiptoes in the driveway. Jake called and swore that he’d be there. She really wanted to go.

#January 17 2021 #I am finally getting around to setting up my office properly. #Hooking things up to my laptop is way too needlessly complicated and also money that I had not been planning on having to spend. #At least my printer is *finally* set up even if it still refuses to connect to my wifi. #Hopefully I get my stupid probably made in China because fucking everything is made in China and there's no way to avoid it adapters soon. #So I can use my monitors. #I also caved and bought a coffee grinder. #I need to figure out how to make coffee the normal people who don't just use instant all the time way. #Something something about trying to be more sustainable and trying to switch to something better than Folgers. #Seriously though. #How do people make coffee? #This is an actual question I want actual answers for. #I am the opposite of a coffee snob and have just bought instant my whole life. #And everywhere I've worked has had those awful single use pod machine things. #Or like those giant carafes. #Or in one case a fancy espresso machine that you just pressed a button on and it ground its own beans? #Anyway my point is people seem to have a lot of opinions on this coffee thing. #I just need to know the quickest way using the least amount of equipment to turn ground coffee into something drinkable. #I don't even particularly like coffee that much and drown it in dairy or dairy substitutes anyway. #So I only really care about not drinking grounds I guess? #Anyway. #This is garbage and I don't feel like writing. #Complete crap.
