Hello, welcome to HoP!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

it's highly doubtfull that there is any more chocolate left. We tend to go overboard when it comes to eating the stuff. But Loki can always make another batch and this time he won't fall asleep and burn anything because he hasn't had to keep me awake. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.
