I'm seriously one right swipe away from losing my mind. In fact, things are so dire I've started to volunteer to take extra shifts at the department so I can honestly say I'm unavailable when the next Miss Wrong slides into my DMs. It's a good time to take a hiatus from looking for "the one" anyway—if "the one" even exists, which I'm not so sure about. The Mudville Sheriff's Department—all three of us—have our hands full with the upcoming Flag Day festivities. I know—random. Right? Of all the holidays in a year, Flag Day is probably the least celebrated. But Mudville holds the record for the longest continuously running Flag Day parade in the country. Tiny town. Huge parade. Understandably, folks around here take it seriously, and so do we who wear the uniform. I'm not complaining. It's a good excuse to not subject myself to one more bad date. The problem is, I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever have a good one.
