One Sentence A Day: September 2021

September 2021 was the first month in ages where everything felt a little more normal. I feel like we are halfway between Covid restrictions and normalcy. We're definitely not back to pre-March 2020 just yet, but it sure feels a lot closer than it has in a long time.

Sadly, I got a bit behind on my sentence a day recording and for a couple of days, and when I went back I really couldn't remember what had happened. Boo :(

And, as always, I'm linking up with Rebecca Jo and the other Sentence A Day bloggers.

1 - Wednesday -- I worked, I had Blog Friends' Book Club in the evening, and we randomly grabbed fish and chips from a food truck for supper.
