Let’s talk about body fluids.
Body fluids are liquids that are either excreted or secreted from the body.  Excreted means to shit it out, basically.  I’m just going to be perfectly frank …

We listed the condo Friday before last and in the couple weeks leading up to that moment, there was much to do.  SO MUCH TO DO.  There was painting, packing, painting, staging, painting, cleaning, painting, sighing – a lot of sighing, and then MORE PAINTING.  This was not unlike the last time we put the condo up for sale with the notable exceptions of me not losing my mothereffing mind and the things we painted then were different than the things we painted this time.
