Wrapping up 2021 // Reading over 100 books, getting back into old hobbies, and finally seeing friends

Ah 2021. Year two of the panini. A year of excitement and disappointment, little wins and big losses. In some respects, 2021 was like a dropped ice cream cone that’s slowly beginning to decompose in the midday sun. There’s a pool of ice cream everywhere and when someone steps on it, turning it into a… Continue reading Wrapping up 2021 // Reading over 100 books, getting back into old hobbies, and finally seeing friends

Easter Readathon 2020 wrap up

September 2019 Wrap Up // A slow kind of month
