It’s been a pretty eventful weekend here in Gracetopia. Well, really just one major event. I unpacked my final box! I’m finally moved in!
The astute among you might remember that I moved here in December. So this is six months after I moved that I finally unpacked the final box. Hey, I’m not speedy but [...]

Currently lying sick in bed. Awesome. Only not.
It’s been a busy week. A couple college friends came through town, I went down to D.C. to visit another one. Good times had by all. Well, me at least. Then I got sick, and stayed home from work today. That’ll teach me to have fun.
I’m currently reading [...]

Wow, loooooong week.
I just slept for 18 hours, if that gives you some idea of how my week’s been.
