Week 49/2024: Falling apart and picking things up
Week of 2 December 2024 Another week where everything fell apart, and I know that’s black and white thinking and everything didn’t fall apart but at times it sure felt like it did. I was still recovering from the injury I did to myself last week, and a lot...
