[Bit 1]

Got some exciting news to share.

I am happy to announce I am no longer taking

the anti-depression medication

that the doctor was prescribing to my mom.

So that's good, she really needs it right now.

I'm gonna be fine.

Instead, I've been recently taking the stuff

from her oncologist.

It's way stronger.

Feel that shit in your lymph nodes.

You ever boof thyroid meds?

We used to call them lymph biscuits.

[Bit 2]

My mom's cool though.

She used to bum me some of her Adderall

when I was like in between scripts or whatever

'cause she knows I need it.

Not proud to say that at my age,

but I've been taking it every day for nearly two decades.

It is what it is.

My mom, on the other hand,

My mom is 69 years old and retired.

What the fuck do you need Adderall for, mom?

You gonna do laundry harder?

'Cause your plants aren't growing any faster.

One time I came home, this woman was folding the dishes.
