I was cleaning the kitchen after lunch when I heard the TV. When I finished my cleaning and came into the living room, Chris was longing on the sofa, watching another baseball game. I stood behind the sofa, watching Chris watch baseball. Lately, this was how we spent our Saturday afternoons. I cleaned the townhouse, and he watched baseball. Today, something...
This is exciting, I finally got to get up from heaven and go somewhere. Nothing major like a drug house or anything, but after drinking coke for two hours with nothing to do anything is welcome.
