I was on a mission to get into the Christmas spirit last night and my answer was to eat a bunch of the Christmas cookies my neighbor baked for us. They were DE…LIGHT..FUL! All of them. I ate too many. I have a horrible sugar hangover this morning. I look like a giant sad marshmallow in my fluffy white robe. The same fluffy white robe I was supposed to get for Christmas but I was a brat and said I wanted it now. I just feel like a lot of bad life choices this morning. I am also sad that all the cookies are gone. Had there been any leftovers I would have made another bad life choice and eaten a few for breakfast. Can I get a pass because it’s the holiday season? Cool cool. Thank you. (Checks pantry for any hidden Christmas cookies)

But the scheming senators will go to any lengths to stop anyone standing in the way of their plan.

And with an army of bloodthirsty gladiators willing to carry out their orders, is Artemidorus destined to meet an equally brutal end?
