"You do. It itches when you get affectionate." "It does?" "Yup." "Huh. Never knew." Michelle is obviously still upset about the heat but is taking it out over my scruff, even daring to sound like a brat. "But it's how it is." It is how it is. So grumpy. I'm smiling so hard that it hurts. "I
Michelle I wake up in the middle of the night, nauseous and hungry all at the same damn time. My period is super late, but I swear these are the weirdest symptoms ever. Never once have I had such sensitive nipples, not to mention having to pee all the goddamn time. Do I have a urinary tract inf
