While I Was Away… —
…I turned 26 yesterday! Yeah me, now a year older, but feeling just the same. My birthday was quite relaxing. I accomplished nothing of great importance, which is how I like it. My SO and I didn’t wake up to an alarm. I watched crappy television while my SO slept in (damn you circadian rhythm). […]
