2024-10-31 A Spooky Sort of Update…

It feels great to be back on my elliptical machine. It was pretty depressing to be away for so long. The sadness and melancholy I suffered the last couple months was primarily due the big shift in my routine, but as life typically has it, the injury was not the only contributing factor to my…

2021-08-11 Happy Birthday Erika 🎂

Days like today I think about all the memories I’ve made with friends who are not in my life anymore. A baseball game I went to for a new friend’s birthday when I was 12 where we laughed so hard (at what I don’t recall) we cried. Years of pre-Christmas baking sessions and ornament exchanges.…
