Feeling Pooped About Poop
2 days until Christmas. As someone so eloquently put it, I'm in a committed relationship with Amazon Prime and I don't care who knows about it.

I know that every year. But the SHOCK my brain and nerves go through during the first few days of them being home never lessens.
