Me mad

Today, someone stole a part of my equipment and it might have some very very serious financial consequence on my already limited income and inexistent savings. Right now, I would like to find the button to switch-off my brain or to buy a ticket to South America to spend days, if not months, trekking and learning Spanish. Fuc# my life.But I supposed that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger (or poorer)...

Vaccination campaign
