*opens door, peeks in, sighs heavily, shuts door* This blog, oy, it’s become that room in the house where all the stuff goes that you don’t have the time to organize or find a place for. I know it’s here waiting for me, I just haven’t been very attentive lately. It’s okay because I’m sure [...]

I wouldn’t recommend planning a big weekend family party the same weekend that the time changes. Or as Mike’s cousin, Jessica, puts it: “Yeah especially when you party hard that night lol 1:59am-3:00am sucks lol” Exactly. Mike hasn’t really seen his aunt or cousins in more than 10 years.
