The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Firing up the giant George Foreman in the patio. I usually cook with wine ... but tonight I may have a beer.

i wonder if they can kick me off 500px for putting too much crap on there.............not that i suppose it matters. Are we supposed to be selling images on that or something? Don't even know how. i sort just dump stuff on it from time to time.

Maybe they'll write a guide on what not to do and give you some free extra space or something for providing examples.

Well, y'all. I survived my first week as a paid paralegal.

so... did it go as expected? Provide more material for your future novel? Gives you a fresh perspective on humanity, or just reinforces your previous observations?

 

[bribrius]

we have a foot or more snow coming.......Pretty and all but, i could use a week without a storm.

Oh! Did I tell you what's coming my way?!

Cameras and all gear cleaned, packed and ready to go!!

Mmmm, doughnuts.

He makes the best too. Unlike most shops that use frozen dough, he makes his dough fresh everyday. The sucker melts in your mouth.

My mom used to make donuts like that. They don't taste anything like store-bought doughnuts. Mmmmmm... sweet memories.

Only about 60 here tomorrow, but I'll take it, especially after waking up this morning and it was still about 15F.

 

[snowbear116 47]

Upper 40s tomorrow, then a coiuple of days in the 50s.

Zoom . . . ambulance from 12 (MWCOG #1012) rolling east.

It went well overall, I think. There were some adjustment pains and I'm sure more are to come, but I'm doing this for clear reasons and keeping these reasons in mind helped me through a couple of rough patches.

It's uncomfortable and new, which understandably makes me want to hide under the covers, but I have been known to make myself uncomfortable with new situations on many prior occasions so this is conceptually familiar ground, even if the details are new. And having just learned more things about my introverted self, I know now why this kind of newness can be more stressful than it probably needs to be, and that it might take me a while to become more comfortable.

So no, I didn't really have any insights on humanity that I hadn't had before, though I did clearly reflect on a few I've had about myself recently, so that was useful

I know what you mean. As you do it more, you'll become more comfortable with it.
You'll do fine.
