The Not-Boring Stuff

I thought that when I got back from New York, my life would be boring and uneventful. And maybe it is a little boring and uneventful, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have stuff to do. It’s just boring, uneventful stuff. Mostly.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it here, but if you know me in real life, you have probably heard me say that my foot hurt a little sometime in the past 3 weeks.
