In Search of Coffee

prosodicMy friend Tiffany invited me to have coffee with her today, and needing to get out of this house, I readily agreed. I also haven't seen her in awhile, and I wanted to see her before I'm gone for good. She offered to pick me up, so I let Lance take the car today.
We wanted to try the new coffee shop that opened in Gangelt a few months ago. The building that houses this coffee shop was once the location for the local Wasserwerks (water company), and it's actually a pretty cool building. The coffee shop is very elegant looking.
Unfortunately, it was also not open. Open every day but Monday. How random. (At least it has great hours all those other days...opening either at 9 or 10 am and staying open until 10 pm).
So she made a quick decision to go to Cafe Schluypen in Geilenkirchen, which is where I usually meet people for coffee and sweets. It was getting on lunch time, so I ordered a cheese brotchen with my macchiato. So simple and yet, so good (all it is is a buttered roll topped with cheese, but it's just so yummy).
We got caught up for about an hour, and then she had to go pick up her little one from the German Kindergarten on her way to drop me back off.
Now I'm waiting for Lance to come home. He tried to get our medical records today, but I apparently have to sign out my own records...they won't let him take them. And I seem to remember signing a form that gives him the right to pick up stuff on my behalf, but it apparently went missing. So now he has to take me there to get my medical records, and we'll swing by the dental clinic and get those records as well.
So much for doing any job searches today. Although that seems to be an exercise in futility, more than anything else. I am eyeing a job that is still open in the Kent School District, but it was supposed to have closed by now, and I am assuming that the only reason it's still open is because they have found nobody suitable for the position yet. If it's still open in another week or so, I'll apply (it's not a teaching position...it's doing administrative work...I may have teaching experience, but I am also not certified, nor do I have any interest in getting certified).
