The sleigh this year is heavier.
Work allows staff members to wear holiday themed aprons in December, as long as they’re made out of the seasonal fabrics which are sold in-store.
In previous years I’d been too fucked up on anti-convulsants to feel anything other than apathetic about the idea, but motivation has come back online in their wake, so this year I took the offer to write-off a slice of gingerbread homespun and go absolutely ham with the tartan scraps in my stash.
You’re split and uneven.
So, like…
I’m not saying tapering off pregabalin has cured my depression…
Pills that straightup make you wanna die.
