    I must’ve gone on for at least half an hour, if not 45-minutes, while we were driving back from PEI, about whether I should post links to my blog posts on my Instagram Stories. It’s been on my mind for about a week. Every time I ran through an argument, I ended up at the…

    I made a box today. I had to. Despite all of the boxes piling up in the den, the dust gathering on the ledges of the tub, and the recycling that needs to be taken down, I went outside and did some woodworking this afternoon.

    I need to eat more often. When I wake up, I’m already jumping at the bit to get going. I’ve got no deadlines to meet or people to see. One of the greatest things about the summer months is the freedom to do what I want with my time. But, I’ve overcome with a false…

    I can’t think of anything to write about today. I’ve been mulling over the idea of writing a blog about post about it. Anyway, here we are, I guess. I’m doing it.

    I was at a wedding over the weekend. I didn’t know anyone other than my girlfriend and a few of her friends. Needless to say, I met a lot of people.
