It hadn’t been one of her better decisions. In fact, when she looked back over her life, contemplating all of the decision-making she had done thus far in her twenty-nine years, this one teetered on insanity.

Good things come in nostalgic packages - Saturday morning cartoons and breakfast in bed to boost emotional health. Who knew?
August 8, 2021

You'd grab a bowl of Cap'n Crunch or Cookie Crisp and nosh mindlessly as you sang the theme to Animaniacs or cheer on the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. Maybe you'd watch reruns of The A-Team or tune into wrestling – whatever your indulgence was (not that you understood it as such back then).
