Day 59

Alcohol is so annoying. This afternoon I watched a mom of a two month old suck down a bottle of wine, claiming "you would do the same if you had two under two!" Excuse me while I unstick my eyeballs from where they have stuck in the upwards position. She asked me a couple questions …

Day 54
