    Halfway there, friends! Today might pull on our heartstrings a bit, so be easy on yourself. Breaks are highly encouraged, whether you need to take some time to yourself, call a friend, or lean on the community. Take this one slowly, and know that we're here for you! 🫶

    Well, I've finished the file cabinet and am plugging away at my desk drawers now. Everything has been much easier than I expected, but I think the hardest decisions are coming at the end, as everything I'm not ready to deal with now I'm putting on the desktop for later! So the drawers are emptying, but the desktop is getting full. Still, I'm making progress and feeling excited about it.
