And this is where I'd be asking Infinite Grace to save me from myself. I'd become glutten in the Honey Song and Applegate districts. I can never seem to get enough honey or apple jam. What can I say I have a sweet tooth? And honey and apple jam... my achilles' heel. A jar of these usually helps pull me out of my studies to attend a family gathering. At least they only do it for important events... Don't know if they do it for my health or for their pockets. Does it really matter? Sitting back and pondering that question brings me to the answer of no. They allow me to do my work, mostly uninterrupted, and I'm there for the important stuff like weddings and whatnots. Plus, at least they know how to get my attention. (laughs) How much trial and error did it take them to get my attention? Or do they actually know me better than I give them credit for?
