I have A Number Of Things I’d like to get done today. Luckily, I’m at the start of the chore week, which means I can do the easy stuff and still get the satisfaction of crossing something off the list. (Not really luck — totally on purpose, because if you can work with your brain’s […]
FYI: this is the series that ate last weekend (oops) and a not insignificant portion of this week (no great loss). But I thoroughly enjoyed it! (I also skipped all the way to the end *really* early on, just to check. Look, it’s important to me to know what I’m getting into before I get […]
