However, I did enjoy visiting my two-year-old nephew. Just wish I had some of his energy to help push through the rewrites. Fingers crossed for some downtime this fall.

I wouldn’t say I’ve so much refueled as just taken a few minutes to jog between sprints. Now here I go again!

It keeps me going through dark days. (Thanks, Stephanie, for the great topic!)
