I’ll tell you the Chad News First
This is the only photo I have is this one from December. My only other idea would be to include the text from my bank asking me if I purchased a $400 ticket to Salt Lake City at the same time I bought an Arizona at my job.
Of course I hadn’t. Which means someone stole my credit card info. Possibly a staff member of the restaurant I took my mother and uncle to over the weekend.
I am dealing with that.
Let’s move on, shall we?
