Then I breathe out

I need to get this o crazy or before I add my own vomit to the mixture I don’t even knohat this is or what happened here, but boys locker rooms are notoriously difficult to clean for just this reason: they smell

Badly

Not for the first ti why I’ a school janitor seehts when no one else is around This means that my days are free to paint, to draw, and to create My days are h School

The kittens I rescued yesterday afternoon were up all nightfor their , they told me I’d have to pay a fee to drop the fee I explained that the kittens aren’t mine: that I’d rescued them from a box on the side of the road The lady at the shelter didn’t care
