I am a sucker for peppermint mocha. Lol.

I kept seeing the same homeless guy every time I was going to my psychiatrist appointments for awhile ... I was worried one winter. It was going to be way more frigid than usual in a few days and stay that way ... and I knew he would either not survive it or he would suffer severe frostbite and other complications otherwise. I got him proper winter clothes, he thanked me profusely. He made it through that awful cold.

I talk to him every couple of weeks now, he wound up finding a way out of being homeless later and we ran into each other by chance in 2018 and we instantly recognized each other. He asked me what I was doing going downtown so often anyways. I told him I was seeing a psychiatrist. He asked me why, as he was seeing a psychiatrist also. We both have schizophrenia, go figure.
Thanks for this!
