What I’ve been up to…

Hey! So it’s been a little while since my first post, and to tell you guys the truth, it’s all because my laptop screen was going through something that looked like it belonged in a rave. Anyway, after retrieving my typing machine from the “Laptop Hospital” I am now able to begin my journey with …
