The end of the month means a lot of paperwork for me. As a freelance writer, I’m responsible for tracking all of my writing-related earnings and expenses for the entire year, and I do it on a monthly basis. Of course, I never keep up with daily entries, so when the end of the month [...]
I went in this morning for my monthly appointment to get my braces tightened. I don’t know what was up with my orthodontist today, but he was suffering from a serious case of “butter fingers”.
