I have allergies, and a deviated septum, and chronic migraines, and tonnes of other reasons that I go through a lot of tissues.

I'm always within reaching distance of a tissue box, I always have at least 98 tissues wadded under my pillow (give or take 6), and it's a running joke between Greg and I how I leave a trail of tissues scattered behind me like some weird chronic illness fairy dust.

Anyways, Poppy has decided that her favourite thing to do at the moment is shred tissues.. and because of my tissue habits, there's no lack of them to be found by her..

Today's number of shredded messes: 4 (so far)
