Coffee, Gods, and Birds

I love Chango. This morning I made coffee for Ellegua and Chango. I just used my regular coffee and I spiced it up with cayenne pepper, chili powder, and chipotle chili powder. When I went to sprinkle in the cayenne, a lot went into the grounds. I figured those fire boys wanted it that way. It smelled very good when it was done brewing, and I gave them each a mug. There was just a little left, so I decided I would finish off the pot myself. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I wanted to see what it tasted like. I took a sip without adding anything, because I wanted to know what the coffee tasted like as opposed to the cream and sugar. The spice hit the back of my tongue like a sledgehammer! I'm sure those men loved it, but I liked it a lot better with a massive heap of cream and sugar.

This whole day while I've been at work, there's been a male cardinal hanging out on the window sill outside. He looks at or in the window, and bangs on it occasionally with his beak. Cardinals being heavily associated with Chango, I'm taking this as a sign that Chango at least liked the coffee a lot. I flirt with the cardinal enough to make us both happy and my office mate disgusted.

I'm remodeling my house right now, and my internet's broken (during the remodeling), so postings are going to be more sporadic than usual.
