🧶 ICYMI #4: July 12, 2019
Hi, howdy,
I had a particularly busy week, so this one is quite abbreviated. Between flying to California with my family to inter my grandfather and uncle, to doctors appointments still trying to find a diagnosis for chronic conditions I experience (so frustrating). Some weeks just make your head spin.
