It's so tough to stop! I like buying stuff and having things and giving presents to folks. This year, I've sloooowly cut down my spending. Definitely not buying a damn thing tomorrow! You & @stephenking.bsky.social said so.

It was one of many offices I had in my 5.5 years there. I was also in Lowry (twice) & Middlebush (twice). I miss all of them compared to the closet I have now. But not MU, overall. I'll take my closet any day of the week, and twice on Mondays!
