This is another one of those memes. It’s a list of 101 activities and I’m supposed to put in bold the ones that I have accomplished.
There will be real posts again on days when I’m not working until 6:00 at night and then going grocery shopping as soon as I get home. Until then, this kind of stuff and the videos from yesterday are whatcha get!
