Wednesday night and counting
Okay, Century Link — changing the date on your automatic phone response message doesn’t change the fact that you said more than 24 hours ago that internet service would be restored in 24 hours.

I guess the first thing that comes to mind is that yesterday, I made & canned strawberry jam. This morning, I made biscuits. We had biscuits & jam for breakfast. That was pretty satisfying.
Overall, I don’t know if this is the best sample week, tho. Right now (the week before graduation) is all about anticipation and being just inches away from the milestone and the anxiety about...

I desperately need to find my camera charger
