A Catalyst, An OTC Drug, A Bad Taste In My Mouth

Coffee.

I seem to have begun drinking coffee lately.

It started with the writers-group meetings at coffee houses – I would drink a cup of coffee or tea (or two) each time we met, once or twice a week.

Then my schedule at work changed – I had been getting off work around 7 and on Mondays and Wednesdays I would have a cup of coffee by about 7:30 – and now I work until 9. I started getting those caffeine-withdrawl headaches around 7:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays – so I started drinking the coffee they provide here at work.

this just in – Amanda update

I think I may have found her. I’ve sent her an email and hopefully I’ll get a reply soon confirming it’s her. You can see the person I’ve found here: (link link link) – the last link requires free registration to see her profile. Looking back through her forum posts, all the details she mentions about her life/family match everything I know about Amanda up to the time I lost contact with her, and the ‘sjtar’ username is the same as the person I emailed (with no response) on reunion.com, so I’m 95% certain it’s her. If it is, then I know she’s alive and doing really well, she has a beautiful five year old daughter and she’s about to be married to what appears to be a very respectable and deserving man, and they’re all moving to Atlanta, Georgia in about a month, from Clarksville, Tennessee.

And just as soon as she replies and confirms that she is the person I am looking for and not someone eerily similar in many ways, I can stop looking for her forever, knowing she is alright. Eagerly awaiting her response,
