Even though my #AmEx didn’t like the extra charge, I’m so glad I sprung for my new #Braille display! For the first time in probably over a year, I’ve got my reading groove back! I’m in the middle of five books at the moment. While I would never say reading audiobooks isn’t reading, because it is, I find that I retain things better if I read in Braille. Also, I have the very unfortunate and extremely annoying habit of falling asleep while reading audiobooks, and then I have to go back and figure out where I was. Not that I’m abandoning #VoiceDream and #Audible, not at ll. My display is just making it easier to read more.

One thing that has been very hard for me to learn, and I don’t think I’m quite there yet even now, is that it’s impossible to stop anyone from making the same mistakes I have made. I can warn them, implore them, but ultimately they’re going to do what they’re going to do, and I can’t do anything about it. The best thing I can do is be the friend they need if consequences follow. But man it’s hard to see people going down roads you’re almost certain will lead to disaster because you’ve been there.

#Yelp has been sending me notifications indicating it thinks I’m in Rochester NY. I was in #Rochester for a week six years ago. So it would be kind of difficult to take advantage of the great restaurnat deals.
