Time to Loot Journal: Blapril 2020
While not something I’m going to dwell on — I think I will at least acknowledge that the COVID-19 lockdown is finally getting to me. Not in any serious, major ways. Rather just I note that my motivation levels are down, with each day...

Added a Blapril 2020 Page
Sure — it’s like… 10 days 11 days (by the time you see this) in, but to be fair — I did actually create it a few days ago! One of the things WordPress bloggers often look on with envy at their Blogger counterparts is the...
