Oh the peak Monroeville Mall! I remember it fondly… truly a shame that it has fallen from it’s heyday.

It was good. Somber at many points, but still good.

Two grandparents died in 2022, along with my childhood cat. One of those grandparents’ birthday was also the 25th. So, difficult, but surprisingly manageable overall. I miss them all.

I’m a little irritated (albeit the thought is there and that’s what matters, so also grateful nonetheless) because I was gifted a few hobby-related items that I’m not sure what I’m going to do with (I knit, and I got a lot of…er, less than nice yarn). Most of these related items were very nice though. That’s my rant!
