Whew. These videos are taking way longer than I expected.
I was in the editing cave all day yesterday, tweaking, trimming, and fine-tuning. And while Iād hoped to have them ready by now, itās looking like theyāll officially premiere on Monday.
Progress is progress, though. One day at a time, right?
Once the new videos are live, I will be able to shift gears and get back to a regular work schedule. Itās been a whirlwind with the move, the unpacking, and all the life admin that comes with major transitions.
But Iām feeling more hopefulāand more like myselfāwith each passing day.
Alsoā¦my birthdayās next Wednesday! And my best friend Drewās too!!! š„³ššš
