That’s the batch, and I scrolled the whole thing standing up, which I am logging as exercise. The Nightcap brings another round tonight, and the next Morning Commute shows up tomorrow before your coffee does. For more relatable memes, try these fitness tweets for people who prefer the couch, or some gym memes that understand leg day regret.
