Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy New Year, happy everything! Hope the season was wonderful and this year is better than last. My own resolutions—writing more and beating deadlines—are already taking a hit as Nora’s daycare caught fire New Year’s Day (just a small one) and is now closed as they assess damage and review the building’s electrical system. Believe it or not, a toddler who has stopped napping is not great for productivity. Anyway, here’s hoping that this gets resolved quickly and the New Year starts to step it up!
Welcome!
