Feels Like I Have Abandoned the Blog
My partner keeps asking me why I haven’t been updating my blog. Apart from the computer that keeps crashing and the tiny font on the iphone that’s hurting my eyes, my wifi being down (yup, excuses), I just basically lost … Continue reading
Been Stuck, & About Those Library Books I Need to Return Pronto
