8. Are you in love?
I love myself more than I realize and am more forgiving and patient than most people expect. I’ve lost a lot of love in my life but I’m always ready to return it.

A unicorn cat, a bit lazy but able to grocery shop, blog, and take a nice shower.

Accepting the challenge

Rocky Horror Picture Show with Justin, Wendy, and Dave in South Africa, the matinee.

My wedding ring, then Samsung smartwatch, purple promise ring, and new flannel pajama set that Caleb ordered on Amazon.

Food, I blogged about food and pantomime from December and got a cute comment from Uncle Chester about how I talk about food so much but still look like I need a cheeseburger intervention… as long as it’s veggie.

Right?! Funnier than it sounds and used more often than I noticed.

I woke before 7am and was back in bed before 8:30 after an everything bagel to sleep until 2:30 after taking the cold pills Caleb brought home last night.
