Ever since I was a kid, Saturday has been rest day. In primary school (Years Kindy to 6), this was sometimes a bummer: there were a whole range of secular activities our family didn’t engage in on a Saturday, so it felt sometimes like we were missing out on bonding with our friends. High school
* See? I can totally write things without magic or technology!! A peed-on stuffed unicorn, children who refuse to go to sleep, and a husband absent for five more days: not Ashley’s description of an ideal evening.

Just totally snowed under by work etc this week. Have the new opening to #FoxBook as a thank you for being here despite my non-brain-ness :3 <3 Trigger warnings: The dog starts out dead. It’s not described in horrific detail, but if that’s problematic for, you skip the first 400 words and start at the
