Hello and happy Monday!

Since town offices are closed, and I’m away for some (un)paid time off, I’m just going to say hello and goodbye today, and leave you with some of my greatest hits from elsewhere on the web.

There’s this short story about a girl and her dog. (Spoiler: the girl is a former version of me and the dog was my real beloved four-legged friend.)

And this essay about how freaking hard it is to be a mother and anything else.

Apparently I write a lot of things that require tissues.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of home and writing about it in my weekly newsletter. Most recently, a simple yet so complicated question: What is home?

That’s it for now. I hope you enjoy your day, however you end up spending it.

See you tomorrow,

Nicci
