May The 4th Be With You!

I don’t go out. I don’t seek extracurricular entertainment. I don’t make new friends. A small part of me blames the pandemic, but a much larger more realistic part of me blames me. I’m fine with the people I know, the friends I have, and being a homebody. I’ve turned…

But My Haircut

For dinner I had lasagna. I made it myself. Meat and cheese and spinach. Tomato sauce. It was delicious. I mean it was really good. I added extra meat and cheese. And while I was browning the meat I had a few test bites. Maybe more that a few. …
