I’ve had a cough for a while. Given the amount of time it’s been with me, it should either start paying rent or, at the very least, we should strongly consider slapping our names on it and enrolling it in school. Before writing this, there was nothing to suggest that the silly thing had plans…
Hey, so I have an idea. Let’s chat about my recent trip to Dubai Sure, I’d love to hear about your trip to Dubai! How was it? It was pretty interesting. I think the first thing that shocked me was the journey duration. I expected four hours, but nope. 5 or so. I know it’s…
