Shortly after Tracey left for work yesterday morning she sent me a text explaining she had forgotten her purse. She wanted me to bring her purse to work so she wouldnt have to drive home without her license. And she wanted me to do this when she got off work and we could go out to eat for supper. Im thinking that was just her way of getting me to carry her purse AND take her out to eat.

After spending time in Africa and seeing first hand how the #Ebola pandemic is spreading this foolish woman pulls a stunt like this?
