Euphoria and little green leprechauns!

At the risk of sounding ridiculously corny… I have to say that I am definitely living my best life right now.  I’m working fuck hard, but playing just as hard, my only grumble is that it’s simply unfair that there are only 24 hours in each day – and why do we need to sleep…
