I noticed that the main post for A Round of Words in 80 Days mentions figuring out how the goal set has been working and whether or not there needs to be any tweaking. I can say right now, considering I’m supposed to be several chapters ahead and yet I’m still only on the first…

Actually, today will be the complete opposite of a manic Monday, and it will be glorious. One benefit, I suppose, to having retail jobs is that most of the time, you’re working a lot on the weekends and, when it comes to be Monday, when the majority of the world grumps about going back to…
