Sadly, my favorite cup died. I was so traumatized I didn’t even take a picture where you can see how it broke. If you could see the other side, the whole cup broke in two.
This was a perfect large-sized mug that said: “Streiss ist alles was nicht … wenn Kaffeepause ist.”
Or something close to that — more or less: Stress is for nothing when it’s a coffee break.
Tante Irmgard gave it to me on one of my Germany visits — I think right after I met Bob so 30 years ago. I think there’s a picture of me in our first apartment where I’m sitting with this mug.
I knew its days were numbered because it’s the only cup I use at home for my tea and I’ve banged it into the sink or other dishes or appliances over the years. It had a big chip and a crack line.
I knocked it off my desk and that was the end.
RIP favorite cup.
The good news is that the other coffee cups all get a turn now.
