Packing Progress While I concede that ChatGPT probably could have written a similar list faster, for me thinking THROUGH the list felt like a valuable exercise. (Maybe it’s just my old Xennial brain cells crying out for the good old days, but I feel…
1- End of school finish line. I think I remember saying last year that I was limping to the finish. This year . . . I have walked slowly and deliberately to the finish. Honestly, I’m proud of myself! I’m not sure why this…
