Made it home safely after celebrating Christmas early yesterday and today with family in the Cincinnati area. I hit 99,000 miles on this drive back. Now less than 1,000 miles to 100,000 on my 2017 Chevy Sonic!

Guess I picked the perfect time for a weeklong time off to burn the rest of my vacation time this year. I'm off from Sunday to Sunday. The mechanical shutter on my work-issued mirrorless Canon R7 broke during my assignment today (photos attached at the moment if failed) though...

Made a salad tonight for dinner after a walk. I need to make them more. They're cheap/easy to make and cut out carbs. This one was with romaine lettuce, avocado green goddess dressing, some bits of Costco rotisserie chicken and some shredded cheese.
