Again? You keep threatening people. I think you need to cut back on the coffee. And chocolate.

Getting out at 4:00PM for an appointment today. A half hour might not seem like much, but it means the world to me!
Breaking out my Organic Half-decaf (I usually blend them) and .... grumble ... 87% Cocoa Organic dark chocolate.
So close.

I am getting so close to being done with my part-time job that I am nearly bouncing in my seat. Can't wait to check out these JKD classes, as well as the Wing Chun school up in Glens Falls.
There is nothing I can walk to from my house, except trees and a few other houses. I've left a bit of the chocolate for tomorrow.Enjoy....and if its any consolation... that was my last piece......

You are a bad influence, by the way.

I realize now that my "damn Stillwater" comment might make some wonder why I don't just get the hell out of there.
Well, here's the thing: my girlfriend has a son who has autism. The Stillwater school district did not want to provide him with the services he needed. (For example, he was not very verbal when he was younger, and they decided they wanted to stop him seeing a speech therapist...without consulting her.) My girlfriend had to devote many, MANY years of her life and go through many sleepless nights, researching laws and statutes and what not to gather up the knowledge necessary to fight for him and get him what he needed.
So yeah...after all that fighting, I was not about to ask her to relocate to a new school district and risk her having to go through that again. I'll put up with living in the middle of nowhere...for her, AND him.

After fighting so hard, I can see why she wouldn't want to leave. There's a lot to be said about living in the middle of nowhere, though it does make some things more difficult, including getting certain services, and starting a MA program.

Not only did she not want to, but I would never dare to ask her.
See, I knew about the fight she had gone through before the choice to live together was made. So then when it was discussed as an option, she asked where I would want to get a place with her. I said, "You already have a place in Stillwater."
I could never ask her to put herself through all that again...for my dumb a$$.
You're enjoying this way too much. If I ever make it up that way, I'm tracking you down and having coffee with you. I'll bring the cocoa powder.It is a walk from my office....and bad influence...ME!!!! never...
Don't discount your dumb ***, my friend. And there are places where such a fight isn't as likely to be necessary.

Right, but it didn't help that she was only a few months into her lease when we decided to live together. LOL I doubt the landlord would have let her out of it. Then again, we could have tried.
But you know how it is...shoulda, woulda, coulda. We made the choice we thought was best at the time.
That's all any of us can ever do, brother.

Sorry to hear about that. I haven't had any issues with my acid reflux in more than a year.
On a side note: There's an Ethiopian restaurant in Alexandria, VA that has a very nice ginger tea.
(EDIT: Ethiopian food would be a good taunt. Not so good for acid reflux, though.)
