Clean Machines

Work work work… that was our day... Pegs was on the grind bright n’early and found wonderful people to rent our cabin for the winter—amaze—as I slept in, then worked on the book… which is what we did for the rest of the day. We completed the longest tasks on our to-do, with only four more to go!

Clean report: feeling good! Good amount of energy, good moods, good digestion, just goooooood.
