It’s very peculiar.  All of a sudden, it seems like there’s an enormous weight that’s been lifted off my back.  The long weekend began yesterday in our household and somehow, the gift of time has become especially sweet and meaningful. Last night, I had fun on my walk.  It’s mating season for the crabs around here.  This is what that looks like:

Gonna have lots of time to catch up on Dr. Who as well.  Life is so incredibly good.
