Things of Note:

This long weekend was just what I needed after catching that cold last week. We had zero plans, and basically just relaxed and hung out and read and watched movies and played video games all weekend. It was awesome, and my cold is gone. Double win.

I can’t believe it’s September already. I only have a month and a half left to tackle things on my
29 Before 29 list! Yeah… some of them probably just aren’t going to happen at this point. But the ones that are still possible, I’m going to put extra effort into. And it’s never too early to start birthday plans, right? Right.

How was your long weekend?
