Going out for a small joy

July 13, 2016 by Tasha 15 Comments

Saturday, Mel and I both woke up supremely cranky. There's just so much heart-wrenching, close-minded madness going on in the world, so much to make you feel hopeless or despondent or pissed off or numb any number of other things, and too many people with their heads screwed on poorly or just not even paying attention at all.
