Fun fact: This was going to be a quick post that I would be able to publish the same day or the next one. That was last Wednesday. Life is tiring Adulting is just so damn relentless. And hiding from adulting with a good TV series and some junk food is just so easy. I've been relatively productive in keeping up on life: errands, Continue Reading
