Didn't I?
Sorry about that. There's a lot that was, and still is, happening. It gets overwhelming. My brother and his kids moved back in, as I mentioned before. The clutter and extra noise and drama... it's an ordeal. And I had to clean out my old room, something I've been putting off for years, so that my nephew can have a room. In doing so, I realized that I had been avoiding it less out of laziness and more out of fear. So much emotion surged out of me after seeing Pilz-e's old stuff.
However, it also led to some interesting finds. First, a series of pictures of Pilz-e, that are now framed.
I found a stuffed dog that I've had since I was a baby, and a couple of polar bears from when I was a kid. I was amazed that they survived.
And finally, as a gift to my inner child, I got myself a shark.
I think we all could stand to indulge our inner child from time to time. Or, you know... you could indulge your inner adult reader with a copy of The Ones Left Behind. Sorry, I had to. Hopefully you all are doing well. I know people get busy dealing with real life. Hopefully you can allow yourself a minute to breathe.
