Ugh, me preparing to go away from home for a holiday. I'm so "stressed"; in May I packed for a trip and took 14 pairs of socks then realised I only had one extra pair of underwear, 😂. I hope you are okay over there! 🙏
A great acrostic, wonderfully put together
I've missed you! So sorry you're going through this 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
A nice acrostic poem. Loved it.
Ah, my life!
Excellent work. Procrastinating is certainly something we want to conquer but we will in our own procrastination time. I feel I might not have the stamina(mental&physical) to tackle certain task at the moment
Wonderful acrostic poem.!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
