6 O’Clock BS – Seesaw
Today I was feeling down in the dumps for no particular reason, or at least no easily identifiable reason. After work I started to recognize the down in the dumps danger zone: All I wanted to do was eat everything in my kitchen and watch an entire season of some stupid sitcom that I’m a …
