1. No word on where our financial documents are. Supposedly, they’re still one of the several branches of this bank since it was an in-house courier who last had it. I do not feel confident. Shockingly.
2. Craigslist is awesome and irritating all at once. Please buy my stuff, more of […]
So

On renting and other things that make my son melt into jelly at the grocery store

Someone has asked a valid question:
“Sista! Where have you been and what can you tell us about it?”
