Well, hello!
They shut down our schools again in Argentina, so I’m obviously in the process of losing my mind, day #398. That said, I AM getting on a plane to get vaccinated this week, so praise science.

And also ALSO I’m in a reading frenzy of late, which is fine if you like words. (I do.)

That is all.
