The weather here has been kind of lame. It has literally been raining for days — I can’t really recall a day without rain/a thunderstorm for at least the past 10 days or so. It’s even raining (slightly) INSIDE of our (rental!) property which…
A list. 1- Starting off my morning with ~15 minutes of non-fiction reading. And a highlighter pen. And coffee (set the night before, of course). 2- Planning the day in my Hobonichi (using the weekly list + calendar items to plan the day). I’ve never…
