He fibbed about the price of the new suit. I don't like fibbing, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying his gift was awful.

I would appreciate it 16.12.2023

I would appreciate it if you paid in cash. I’d appreciate it if you let me get on with my job. I would appreciate it if you would tell your father to call me. I would appreciate it if you would let me know in advance whether you’re coming or not. Music: Persimmon St by Blue Dot Sessions

It just fell into my lap! 15.12.2023

She wanted out 11.12.2023

Marriage felt like a prison and she wanted out of it. He had lost all his money in the stock market, and he wanted out. She wants out of the deal, but it's too late. Jenny was fed up. She wanted out. Music: Dorothean by Blue Dot Sessions

Radio silence 10.12.2023

He texted me every day for a week, and then: radio silence. Beth must still be mad at me. I've texted her three times, but she's still radio silent. We need to issue an apology—we can't just go radio silent and hope that people forget about this. Sorry for the radio silence, but from now on my Instagram posts will be more regular. Music: Tall Harvey by Blue Dot Sessions

No money on me 09.12.2023

We can swing by the shop 03.12.2023

I need to swing by the grocery store on my way home. I’ll swing by the grocery store on my way. We can swing by the shop on the way to the party. On my way home, I swung by the post office to buy some stamps. Music: Plaster Combo by Blue Dot Sessions
