I mean, on the phone just now I said “Everything’s okay. I have few wants and all of my needs are met.” I mean, if you know me, that is some weird shit to hear coming out of my face.
So listen to this in honor of my awesome good mood, for who knows how long it shall last.

The last bastion of good taste.
me: ....so he wants a La-Z Boy or something to get vertical on but I told him we'd have to wait until the perfect one comes along. I mean it's not like we have Frasier's apartment where everything is super nice and it can support one awful piece of furniture.
