Dear Office Email, It’s time you knew the truth. I hate you. Like smash-you-with-a-baseball-bat-if-you-were-a physical-object kind of hate.Whenever I see you, a fluffy little bunny dies along with a part of my soul. We didn’t use to be like this.

Booya! Welcome to the very first “official” post at the relaunched, self-hosted, cheerfulegg.com! I spent the weekend migrating to a self-hosted website, which means I take your cheerfulegg reading experience seriously enough to actually pay to get those pesky ads removed. Woot woot.

I’m back from the USA! In case you haven’t heard, I’ve been roadtrippin’ through the West Coast for the past 15 days: LA, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Monterey, and San Francisco.
