I think I made this huge huge mistake almost 3 years ago when I decided it was time to get a dog. I am getting close to the age of retirement and I have no savings to retire on because … Continue reading →

today was a very eventful day because I cannot think of one thing that happened in it. I thought about swimming. but didn’t I thought about working. but didn’t I thought about going out to hear music. but didn’t I … Continue reading →
