Soo... This week didn't go quite as planned. We had three super busy days at work thanks to a long-planned event. The lead-up to it had been stressing me out for the past couple of weeks, and I am so glad to be done with it. That was planned. I'd been dreading it, but I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019

I wanted to go to a nearby state park, but it was closed due to flooding. I wanted to go to a local park, … Continue reading March Summary and April Preview
