Why?
After living here for more than a decade—often rejecting this place—I’ve decided to carve out a little cosy haven for myself.

She has a friend called Sky, and I couldn't help but smile […]
Today was a good day. Mostly work-wise... there isn't much more than work these days, anyway. 11 deployments with only a couple of small hiccoughs. 2 apps that have been driving us crazy are in prod with a tolerable margin of error.
