So it’s Christmas, part 3
In all my wishing and planning for this year, I have found lots traditions and things I desperately want to try next year. It started with that Instagram question I put out there into the ether. My best friend suggested an Advent Calendar of some kind to help me count down the days. I started… Continue reading So it’s Christmas, part 3
So it’s Christmas, part 2
This ‘improving Christmas’ has become a bit of a pet project, one that has sparked my desire to write more again. I think this has largely to do with the feeling I can’t quite shake, the feeling that I can’t be the only one experiencing this right now.

Sunday Best 9/6/2020
A spur of the moment kind of morning. Nick woke me up at 10:30. I stayed up way too late, but still got my 8 hours...
