A bike! There’s nothing more to say. Mostly because right now I’m trying not to be stressed out because I have to go exchange my phone because the one I’m currently using is broken and the traffic is really bad and there’s no parking anywhere and we’re at the wrong end of the mall and my boyfriend doesn’t understand that T-Mobile is FAR from this end and the store closes at 8 which is the same time the hectalex is due and all I’ve eaten today was a bag of Chinese crackers that were meat flavored. So that’s my day.
