Things of Note:

It was a quiet week over here. All of the rain and gloom last week meant I didn’t go out and about much. Then when sunshine hit on the weekend, insomnia hit me with a Blah mood, so nothing much happened then either. *shrug* What’re you gonna do? (answer: read, watch Netflix, and lounge around with the dog).

What did you get up to this past week?
