I begrudgingly did some laundry. I scrolled on TikTok for far too long.

But no. She just wanted to get me out of the house, and it's scary how moms seem to know when you need something without you having to say anything at all.

A nice, moody gothic haiku, Ashley. Love the imagery! Hope you are keeping well! 😊
