If you want to see a happy camper allow me time to let my mind wander. Well, actually my mind doesn’t wander, sometimes it runs away completely without a moment’s notice. More specifically I go into my clutter box, a special space in my mind. It’s like a messy garage.
My favourite comedy specials (so far)

Why am I always tired?
I’ve noticed that I’ve been very tired lately. I say ‘lately’ but it’s been going on for months. But why am I always tired? So, I went to the doctor, and he suggested getting blood work done. It would test for 10 things, so 10 different tests. I wasn’t fazed
