Do you make up an elaborate story for the men who don't message you back on a dating app and actually send it to them, or are you normal?

***Also, I know I made a tense switch at the end there, but I don't care. 🤪
Good morning. I'm trying to decide which story to tell myself as to why you didn't reply and taking it instead of the more likely but far less entertaining life is busy and simply forgot I'm going to imagine this.... Yoofwere working in an oilfield when suddenly a funnel cloud began to form in the distance holding up your hand you to stop your coworker mid sentence you gave him the look with annoying smile he noted to your truck and said go spending on the heel of your boot you ran to the truck and hopped inside as the engine over to life you glanced up as a gray green sky and smirked your mind already whirling as you attempted to predict the path of Your foot slammed down on the gas and you were off chasing after another storm out of both curiosity and excitement your blood humming in your veins and your heart beating steadily in your chest because of thrilling is the chase always says you're the one constant the study variable in a literal storm of possibilities. The final cloud starts to drop in your eyes never leave it except to glance have throat as you drive and so you keep going keep chasing all the while and messages in your bumple inbox from a woman who wishes so badly that someone would go to her with the same intensity that you chase after the storm.

I worked in the front office and left everyone a "pun-ny" sticky note on their computer. I forgot to take pictures of all of them, but here are two. I love spreading joy. 😊

Documenting for myself that I do have the ability to get up and go to the gym before work. Of course, it helps when you've been up since 3:45 because you can't sleep. 🫠
