How are we all doing?
Seriously friends, how are we all doing? How are you really, truly doing? I think a lot of us are so tired, frustrated, and flat out furious that we’ve grown used it and aren’t even acknowledging it anymore.

Whether I pay attention to that feeling all the time or not, it’s still there. Since school ended I’ve had much more time to read, and to work on my blog. Both things that I was…

My fingers are itching to chop stone fruit, and make pies. I even preemptively made a plum pie this week, although I did regret it after the house took an hour to cool back down hahaha.
