Woke upGot out of bedDragged a comb across my headFound my way downstairs and drank a cup … Not quite. There was no combing this nest. And before I went downstairs I stripped naked in the bathroom to weigh myself for the first time in about four months. High expectations often yield disappointment. According to …
