work at a coffee shop again. make a little bit of money in tips each day. put it into an envelope and save it. save it, i said! don't spend it like you have in the past. keep it out of your wallet and you'll be fine. oh, and look for a car. wait, you may have found one, you say? well then ... get it all figured out, and fast. and read the books you buy, instead of shelving them for some later date. it's okay to have a long list of books to buy ... better than having a big pile of books to read and no money and no car! re-prioritize little one!
a new day, it feels like a new life. two early mornings in a row, and they trust that i am sufficiently trained to work at night. one training day, maybe two, and i'm good to go. not that i haven't made coffee before, but everyone does it different, i guess. whatever. it's hours. and money. and i need both. so i'm back to smelling like espresso ... and getting wired and then crashing. good stuff. and maybe even a car for me out of it all. that i can make payments on. that's nice!
no other fun news to report. life ticking along like a clock ... spring break is nice for catch-up, but i've actually got to CATCH UP on something in order to really mean that. mostly hanging and reading for fun, when i've got papers to write and columns to finish and all that jazz. that's today ... right after my nap.
You seem happier. I am excited for you. Thank you Ray.

I think working in a coffee shop would be really fun; all the cool people to meet and the glorious aroma of all that coffee. A little bit of heaven!
