The December Challenge
I made this myself. Hand-drawn on actual paper. My challenge for December will be surviving December. The holidays have been depressing me for a few years now for no good reason, but this year, I have a good reason. We're broke. It's going to be a challenge really making Christmas any good for our 10-year-old. … Continue reading The December Challenge
Mystery Prompt 17: Health and Wellness
Write about your health and fitness goals. How do they reflect your beliefs about well-being? Health and wellness is fundamental for everything else I want to do.

RV Reno Review
https://youtube.com/shorts/nxhoI0WIFz0 Well, I didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but that's just the way it goes a lot of the time. I did a little bit of slipcover magic. I am pleased with the bolder colors and design. Now I have to do something about that awful wallpaper border. I tried to … Continue reading RV Reno Review
