What do you do to relieve stress of the season? I was thinking about this today. I am an accountant, and as such we are preparing to enter our busy season of finishing out one year and beginning another - quite a bit more involved than a midnight clink of glass, a Barbara Walters who may or may not be artificial intelligence at this point (or at least held together with a lot of Bondo), and a bunch of shit blowing around Times Square that the Street Department will have to bulldoze tomorrow. Well... maybe that "giant piles of shit" reference holds true.

I feel as though I avoided the worst of it. I declined to wake early on Friday morning and attend sales. I don't feel bad about my decision, so perhaps that has helped me cling onto the small bit of sanity I still have.

• I'm not sure why I feel as if I need to start a blog elsewhere, but as always it will be a good outlet for some much-needed venting. The events of the last 18 months have left the people of the world in a state of chaos. COVID-19 is still flaring up, and while we are learning to live around it, we all still wish it would go away.

• We recently returned from a trip to Honolulu and Kona, Hawai'i. Kona (and the entire Big Island) was so very country - think Texas but with beautiful beaches, volcanic mountains, and electricity.

• I've kept it largely quiet, but we have purchased our first home together. I've spent years debating on this as I very much love my little house, but it was never my plan to stay here much beyond 40, which is quickly approaching. It's just so crazy how time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye I have been here for 14 years of my life. It was time to move on.

• That being said, I am going to rent my little house out. I hope those who live here after me will love the place as much as I have.
