Herman couldn't understand why his humans left objects so tantalizingly close to the edge if they didn't want them #push -ed off. For all his training, they never seemed to learn.

It was simple to loosen the meddlesome neighbour's #brake line just enough to cause a slow-dripping leak. What complicated matters was the final failure sending them through my living room.

Delia spent every Friday afternoon, same library, same table, stealing glances, contemplating the irresistible poetry of that one rogue #curl across his forehead, then going home again without a word.

In the #middle of the chaos and the turmoil and the stress when it's all piling up and you're out of your depth just stop and take One. Deep. Breath.

I know April is over. I am aware it's June already. I just hate that I didn't finish what I started, so bear with me.
