#vss365 The voice roused me, and I found myself lying alone in the centre of an archaic wild #garden at moonlight. Had I imagined the voice? Shakily, I sat upright and struggled to focus on my dark surroundings.

I got a bunch of yerba mate from the store the other day cuz I wanted to try it and Honestly it's kinda good. I don't think it's gonna supplant my chronic arizona tea addiction tho given that I am 27, broke, and one can of the former costs more than a Gallon of the latter.

Monday Morning tale of entitlement:

On my early walk the driver of a large SUV pulled ahead to block the crosswalk. Windows were open and I heard a passenger admonish “Come on! You can’t block a crosswalk.”

Driver: “It’s just a pedestrian. She can squeeze around into the road. I need the space.” 🙄
