I hope everyone had a lovely holiday if you choose to celebrate. My cold ended up being a super fun sinus infection and this week, I was thankful for pharmaceutical drugs to help clear that mess up. I’m left with a lovely cough as a reminder for now but hopefully, I can muster for something this week. We do have some impending rain but don’t let that keep you inside on a stacked Friday night! See ya out there!

I managed to score a ticket to the sold-out show with The Maine, flor, and Weathers at the House of Blues on Friday. Admittedly, I only knew a few songs from The Maine going into the show but I had an absolutely amazing time! It was the kind of show where everyone knew what song was up next within the first three notes. It was also a giant sing-along. I wish I could’ve made it to the show in Anaheim tonight but I’ll have to listen to them on repeat for a while.
