    How My January 2023 Went

    Happy New Year! I can’t believe how quickly this first month went by. Did you do anything to end the year? We just hung out and cleaned up a little in the apartment. We did stay up till midnight! Stephen played some video games, and I was reading. My reading…

    How My December 2022 Went

    After last month of working, Darby told me that this month I need to work less and pay attention to him! Life Update December 5: Mom informed us that Dad only has 3 cancerous lymph nodes! Yay! He’s experienced a few bumps and side effects, but they were minor and…

    It’s Me, Finally, in 2022!
