Two unrelated things: First: This morning I got bit on the eye by an ant. And that was concerning, but more baffling was the fact that the ant managed to crawl all the way up to my eye before attacking. That’s, like, so much work for I-don’t-even-know-what-the-payoff-is. I can’t decide whether to be offended or impressed.Continue reading “Coloring. But less stressful. (Yes, I am aware how ridiculous this sounds.)”
