Exploring the Universe
One day at a time, from the innermost to the outermost. I'm just a woman in my late 30's trying to figure things out.

I’ve been revisiting a lot of old writings – this was posted to Facebook May 13, 2021, the day before Sunny was born. It’s not new content, so if you follow me there, you would have already read it. It’s wild to think that this was five years ago. But it’s fun to reread what…

We’ve been making some new friends here from India. We’re beginning to have visitors to our house, which is fun. This morning, I woke up and everyone in the house had gone into town. I decided to go for a walk to the beach. I got there, and there were tons of boys playing cricket.…
