Before the end of today, I wanted to get this posted.
Last year, especially the last few weeks, were interesting, and not in a great sort of way. But the book of 2017 is done; has been for 19, almost 20 hours. What all got listed on the first day of the year? A lot. What needs to get done? Getting ready to go back to work/school tomorrow. Everything else is done.
