I'm not a crypto investor, but sometimes seeing these big numbers makes me think I would have sold sooner and then would not have lost all my money and now I am that one arrested development meme.

Kid crushed it at her first feis (Irish dance competition) and took home an unexpected silver medal in her group. Parenting is the best.

Been journaling and there is something amazing about getting thoughts down, being able to revisit them easily, and knowing at any moment you could toss them. Paper! Who knew?!
