Tupperware that needs to be returned to all the amazing cooks who have sent meals over the last few months, a will that needs to be updated, investments that need to be made, airline refund checks that never came from trips that weren’t taken 9 months ago, photos that need to be ordered and little boys that still need help with potty-training — this is a small sampling of my brain on most days.
