I’m too tired to think of a title for this post

Man was I beat today. I never went over to the other house (I have to start referring to it as such because if I keep referring to it as my mom’s house then I’ll never feel like we’re more than guests) today because I almost couldn’t stay awake. I’m pretty sure it has to [...]

Such pretty smells

My mom’s basement, especially since we’ve started cleaning it out, has seemed to have this odor that I couldn’t quite place nor could I find a specific source.
