Me: I can't take any more stress.

Life: You want more stress?? Coming right up.

I just saw that John Oliver did a headline story on prediction betting, so I turned it on.

This post gave me a contact headache.

Sorry for your loss.

If I had one more ounce of energy I'd make it a level on my Patreon and let people vote on the recipes for each month.

Yep...

I'm laughing thinking about starting a monthly cake subscription service for my books.

Chronic pain has turned me into a right bitch.
