The Countdown
It’s been awhile since I actually wrote something personal and substantial on my blog. My mom pointed out this fact to me earlier this evening. I don’t post a lot anyway, especially compared to other Tumblrs, but when I go quiet for weeks at a time she worries. So, I decided to check-in despite my tired eyes.
