Today Will Be A Good Day

Breed Specific Legislation (BSL)
This is my dog, his name is Douglas. He is scared of chihuahuas, bin bags and bubble wrap.

My Brain on Debt
Debt is a migraine. It’s multi-sensory; it’s overpowering. It takes over your entire life. Debt is always there. It’s like a parasite, burrowing its way into your brain.

And then suddenly you can’t breathe, your heart is palpitating and your mouth is dry, because it makes itself known again.
