I was just thinking this morning about how much I enjoy going to my friends' house down the hill. We inevitably end up spending hours talking with them, and if our other friend is there, the five of us will go on lengthy diatribes about all sorts of topics. I think right now their house is my third place. I don't really have a second since I wfh, but their house is definitely becoming my third.

Your idea of an ideal coffee shop feels really good and cozy. I like the ones who feel like you stepped into someone's home and you're welcome to sit anywhere. The kind where you really feel like you can unburden yourself for a while. Just set it down on the floor next to your chair and forget about it a while..

You always have such insightful things to say! I never thought of friends' houses as third places but they totally are. Are there any cozy coffee shops near(ish) to your homestead?

I kinda live out in the middle of nowhere.. the closest coffee shop is probably about 45 minutes away from me, and I haven't ever had the inkling to go check one out. After dialing in my coffee additions at home, coffeeshop coffee just can't quite compare. You could ask Kim sometime how convoluted my morning beverage has become.. haha
