starbucks ran out of cold brew at 2pm on a tuesday. statistically speaking thats when most people commit crimes so honestly the timing feels suspicious.

Look, I've been going to the same Dunkin on Route 9 for six years because it's on my way to cover the school board meetings, and in the last month they've decided that "out of stock" applies to literally everything before 10 a.m. No medium iced coffee, no bagels, just vibes and regret.
my legs have betrayed me after three weeks of running. apparently my calves dont exist separately from my soul anymore??? why does walking down stairs feel like a *amn crime

my back is absolutely destroyed from this airport chair and im pretty sure its actively getting worse. send help or a chiropractor.
So I'm on deadline for three different stories, two of which require me to sit through school board meetings that could've been an email, and naturally the Herald's only working printer decides today is the day it's going to jam every single time I load paper into it.
uber eats has been taking 45 mins to confirm my order and i genuinely cant tell if its a glitch or if the restraunt is just ghosting me. statistically speaking thats suspicious as hell
