Hello, friends!This is my first post written from my new, one-stop-shopping blog. Thanks for joining me here!I'll be writing a separate post about the whys and wherefores of my decision to consolidate, simplify, and streamline. There are no guarantees it will be today, though, because my schedule is jam-packed.In regards to the title of this post, today is, indeed, a day of firsts and lasts:The first post generated from this blog.

⚡️ The last performance of You Can't Take It With You.⚡️ My first time making vegetarian chili (it's in the crockpot already).⚡️ The last time I'll inhabit sweet, quirky Penny Sycamore and gather around the table with her family.⚡️ The first day of April.

I'm dumbfounded to realize that tomorrow will mark one calendar year since I was laid off, thanks to this being a leap year.One year since that surreal and all-too-foolish (in its way) day. It boggles my mind. And yet, that isn't a first, and I doubt it's a last.That's it for this post; short and sweet - for a change. *wink*Do you have any first and lasts today?
