I’m still hopeful right now. Which is surprising considering that our family went (and is still going) through medical things back to back.
what I’m working on right now

conclusions/final thoughts
April also a loss work-wise.
And I’ve been a little depressed with everything that’s happened (plus, the rainy weather doesn’t help; dark weather also triggers that for me.)
I’m catching up but there’s always something new I have to do on the horizon. I’m definitely going to hire someone.
