Things are changing in our house. (Though life is change, so when are things not changing?) I’ll be starting my second job (losing time I’ve spent writing and making things) and our teen has started college.

I’m working on my princess detective story. I’m kinda, sorta participating in Story-a-Day. I’ll write every day. Will it be a story? I don’t know. My second job is really knocking me for a loop, so I’m keeping my expectations low for my mental well-being.

I hope all is well with you.

Thanks for reading.
