100 Day Project: Days 26-30

I did not make it back on the bandwagon. I tried to carve time out each day but it just didn't happen. Religiously, I had the paper and pencil out, and the idea chosen each and every day. But either no time showed itself or when it did, I was too drained to give it a...
