There comes a time in a relationship when the hawtness begins to cool, things get tepid and don't work as they should. One has to ask oneself if a newer model is in order, or should one stick it out for a little while longer. There is something comfortable in staying with the familiar. You know the familiar and how it works, it's dependability; it's constancy. One hesitates in getting rid of the old, out of comfort perhaps, or fear that a newer model won't satisfy as much as the old. Yet you know that the day will eventally come when, in either a fit of anger or just calm realization, the old is eschewed and the new brought in and unveiled.
You will play with your new toy, admire the shiny newness of it all and wonder why you kept that old thing around for as long as you did. Sometimes, especially in the beginning, when some of the shininess starts to wear off, you will miss the old; but not too much, it's nostalga after all and the newer is better in spite of the patience and time required in breaking in your new toy.
For weeks now, I've been hesitating to say anything, dreading the day that I new would soon come. This morning was the day. It is time.
The hotness is gone, and can only be gotten back with special attention. I am sick of the tepid, the slowness, the extra effort and the sloppiness of it all! I've decided. I will tell Mike this morning, after he wakes up....I simply cannot take this anymore.
We need a new coffee maker.
