Get Out Of My Room, Mom!

That’s what Patrick is feeling like screaming at me lately. Though he doesn’t – he is way too sweet to do so. I do deserve it, though. I made plans several months ago to move out of this room, which is supposed to be a dining room, but, functions as my office. I decided that [...]
