But the first week of January, I started on a journey (with some plucky … Continue reading Journey of 1000 Things – Part 1
My search for a fabulous pillow to rest my weary head upon continues. I don’t remember having ‘pillow troubles’ as I call them when I was younger. I prefer to think that pillows aren’t as fabulous as they were back in the day, as opposed to thinking it might be something about me and/or my … Continue reading To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
As I’ve mentioned previously, one of my 2022 To-Do list items is responding to the items in my journal - 1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me (1KTYDKAM).
