Hi Julyers,
A foggy morning up here in the driftless zone, sure sign that autumn is here.
So I'm sitting here with my 'dirty' iced chai latte; quite the concoction- 2 shots of the good stuff, espresso. Not too long ago I ordered a 'muddy' iced chai latte. Coffee Shop Dude said, "Good one!". I didn't bother to tell him it was unintentional, just "Ha- guess I need the coffee".
TS- Sounds like your thoughts are clarifying. I've realized too that I turned to alcohol when life 'hit too hard'. Just felt like the world was too wildly out of control to deal with... I don't need to tell you that I didn't have a good reaction.
Toadie, have fun in New England. One of my best friends is from Maine; visited there one summer and it was lovely.
letitigo- We'll be thinking of you. Hang tough.
Everyone, have a good day/evening.
