Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time
Visiting your parents’ house, sleeping in your younger self’s room, it’s a trip down memory lane. Sometimes I would open drawers and find forgotten objects and journals, not always linked to pleasant memories. But other times, it will remind me of craft obsessions from long ago. On this fourth day of this Christmas writing streak,…
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent me down a rabbit hole about the eponymous Christmas Carol, and I learned a couple of interesting things about it, one of them being that this year the true love would spend $41k to feed their beloved. Ouch, that’s one expensive romantic dinner, but don’t…

I finally started my first little project to make this house a little more mine, and it starts with the smallest room: the bathroom. This is going to be a WIP for a long time, I’m a bit the George R. R. Martin of home renovations. Anyhow, after a 3 day affair, I finally have…
