I am not going to coin the year 2020 as the year of the minimalist, but I will say that it is the year that many people have wanted to embrace a more minimalistic lifestyle, especially minimalist capsule wardrobes.

I hurt my back blow drying my hair this morning. I guess this is a sign of getting old? I pulled something in my shoulder and now I am walking around like Molly Shannon’s character on Seinfeld who doesn’t move her arms when she walks.

Good times.

I just finished baking a cake for Merle’s 10th birthday which is tomorrow. I can’t believe she will be double digits. Can we freeze it for a bit? Because this time flies shit is insane.
