Starcat’s Favorites: A Slow Transition
March is here! Which is great, because it’s the month that contains the official start of Spring. And not-so-great, because it’s a month where I tend to struggle along.

Going from one thing to another, solving problems, dealing with what’s in front of you…but feeling like you’re not really getting anything done.
