Today at 2:00 P.M. I will have officially been a non-smoker for a whole week!!  EEEEEEE!!

I feel compelled to recant my previous complaints about my local coffee shop.  I have been coming here regularly (up to 3 times a week) since I have been not working and am finding that the things that used to drive me nuts, no longer bother me.  The main reason for my conversion however, is the owner.  Last Thursday, I came in with 2 partially filled punch cards and no money.  Once you get a punch card full, you get a free coffee.  I planned on praying on their generosity and asking if I could combine the two cards for a coffee.  The owner happened to be working the counter when I came in and since one of the cards only needed one more punch, he just took that as if it were full and gave me a coffee.  “I’ll gladly give you a latte today for money on Tuesday.”  I told him I would be more than willing to pay for said coffee the very next day when funds would be replenished and he refused to allow me.  Apparently, my loyalty is cheap.  As it turns out, I can be bought for the low low price of an iced vanilla mocha.

Some of my other complaints have seemed to disappear as well.  I used to be annoyed by some of the employees here but have grown to accept them for their quirks.  Saying that I appreciate them or enjoy them would be taking it to far for now.  I do wish they had a fire place for the cold days like LatteLand but I can accept a comfy chair in a warm building instead.  I am still uncomfortable with some of the groups that frequent this establishment but fortunately, they don’t tend to be here when I am as I have learned when to avoid being here.
