I've never eaten a Dude Wipe, but I can imagine that's what these mint Pepcid taste like.

Working on mentally laying out the new horror novel, and my dog whimpered in her sleep last night, and I nearly shit my pants. So, probably scary.

It's nice to know that at a glance, nothing can keep football from trending. Not even the imminent collapse of our country. Bread and circuses, indeed.

I might just edit this down into a novella and start work on the fixed piece. They'd be different enough it could end up like a bonus book.

The thing they don't tell you about ADHD meds is that even though you don't want to eat while taking them, you have to in order for them to work. Which is why I just ate a burger and am now going to run to the moon.
