After work I went to buy a halloween costume. I’m going to be a deathrow inmate. I’ve got the orange jumpsuit. Just need some handcuffs. On the way out I dropped my cellphone and broke it. Well I can still send and receive calls, but the display doesn’t work at [...]

I took the day off work today. But it was no vacation. This morning I went to Missouri Baptist Hospital where I got some bloodwork and an upper-GI. I nearly passed out while the nurse was drawing blood. I think she took 3 or 4 tubes and had a bit of [...]
