I have to come out and live my truth. I have now become "crusty."

I am wearing my clothes from Friday which is sweat pants with mustard & mayo from my Cubano sandwich* yesterday and Friday’s potatoes on them, the same sweatshirt, 2 t-shirts, the same underwear,
the same socks, and slippers. I promise to take a shower by noon.

My breakfast is some left over Cubano Sandwich, coffee, and clementine oranges.

*. Cubano Sandwich = Pan Cuban aka white bread in a 6” bun cut lengthwise, Swiss Cheese (Guggisberg Baby Swiss), yellow mustard, mayo, and some crushed red pepper on both sides, Mortadella, Salami,
some pulled pork, dill pickles, and Provolone. Grilled on an Iron skillet with butter. A brick works as
my sandwich press.

Don’t judge me I know I am nutz. But it is fun.

Practically every item of clothing I own has white dog hair on it. And I only have one dog.
