When I reveal this book the mood quickly changes.
Tonight’s D&D was another great one. It’s like drinking a late coffee — honestly it reminds me of when I’m in the flow with @TIL.

First time!
It was in some ways a small step. My first entry in five weeks feels very good, however, and much more significant than the number of words I have written in this book thus far today.

That took me forever. I was sure I was about to learn a new word.
Though she can at times be as spiky as a cactus, Kismet will always be our sweet little girl. In her older years she has actually regained some of that wild kitten energy.
