@DavidC_author It's so annoying. These people are the sole reason I don't answer DMs anymore. It's wasting everybody's time.

@NeilStaley Exactly! It's not for lack of ideas, either. I know exactly what to write. But I'm either too busy or too exhausted (from being too busy).

I know they say “when life gives you lemons”, but the cellar got flooded for 3rd time in 6 months. The building manager stole money from the repair budget, then filed for bankruptcy when found out. Thanks, life. I got enough writing material now. Can we go back to “boring”?

I successfully reunited a lost pet with its family about five minutes ago. The little lady had been missing for a month. Seeing them all together again made my day. :) #foundCat
