If only just to help myself keep track of where I should book next. 😉

A long-overdue life update of the last eight months!

Holy shit - saying it’s been a minute since my last update would be the understatement of the damn century.

Apologies, friends. Life got away with me there for a bit. But I can say that unlike in previous years, I was distracted by happy life changes, not tragic ones - what a nice change of pace, eh?

But here I am - armed with my rainbow emotional support water bottle; I’m ready to dive right in.
