A day in the life. Chocolate coated.

Today. 19th of April. In case you wanted to know: Up at 6 with sun in my eyes. Forced sleep til 8 oclock call from a friend's pillow. Fake slept til 9. Debated breakfast. Debated yoga. Had breakfast and got dressed for yoga. Shuttered at what oranges do to my cuticles. Mint tea has become [...]
