| Hello WDC! This start of the month blog post is a little late because I just returned home from a two week vacation to Hawaii! It was my dad's and grandfather's big birthday bash, so my bf and I spent a long time there with family, which was really rejuvenating.  I even got a tan! We got back earlier this week, and then I had to go right back to work, so this weekend I'm planning to decompress from the flight and maybe even catch up on WDC stuff  ! Shocker!  Oh, and I've kept up with my daily personal journal writing as well - it's a nice way to start my day and feels a bit like meditation. So, rest assured - even though I'm not writing much on here, I am writing! While in Hawaii, I jotted down a few good starts to poems as well, so maybe those will make an appearance soon. Okay, moving on to your regularly scheduled programming.  In January, I wrote a few things (one of which already won something cool  ):
