So the other week I had a new experience. I went to a bakery that specialized in baked goods and drinks that are infused. As in substances that used to be illegal. Luckily for me, I was able to get a drink that was not infused with anything.

This particular night, I needed someplace to sit and work on my laptop while my husband was at a beer tasting event at a place that was 40 mintues from our house. I was the designated driver and did not want to be tempted. Nor did I want to drive all the way home, only to have to turn around to get him. I didn’t want to hang at McDonalds or some other fast-food joint. Nor would Starbucks or other restaurants in its ilk be open till nine.

So I began a google search and found this bakery was open till 9:30 P.M. Perfect!

I could sit on my computer and phone, quietly tap away while having an iced drink and eating some sort of baked goody. I did not count on the infusion.

I cannot have this type of infusion.

Why is that?

Let’s just say that eating that stuff will have an adverse effect on my digestive system. I have tried a gummy -once- only to be in bed for the rest of the day after my system cleaned itself out. I finally managed to pass out then went on to have some of the weirdest stress inducing dreams I have ever had.

Anytime I go for a colonoscopy, I wake up nauseous. I am willing to stick my finger down my throat as far as it will go to make the nausea stop. I will never get any medicine that starts with Narco unless, of course, I want to lose ten pounds in one day. 

It is the worst feeling.

So here I am at a business that sells the stuff I cannot have. After a quick explanation from the very friendly staff, I chose a non-infused iced tea mango drink.

Very tasty.

I explained that I needed some place to sit while I waited for my husband to be done at his thing. I was told to settle in and be comfortable. So I did near an outlet so I could charge my phone. While I worked on my laptop, creating the book list I posted last week, I got to people watch all the customers who came in.

Some were like me, needing a full explanation. Others knew what they wanted but needed tips from the staff on how to get the most out of their purchase. Other customers asked each other about the infused drinks and how well they worked for themselves or the person they were buying them for.

It was interesting and informative. I was very comfortable and actually heard a bunch of music I don’t normally listen to. There were various rap songs being played I don’t hear normally that intrigued me.

This is probably a place I will take family members who prefer these products.  There was a giant Jenga game and a swing chair along with the big table I took over. I had a great experience and hope to go again sometime.
