2025 Retrospective, 2026 Plans

It wasn't my intention to entirely skip the last week of November and dive straight into the yearly wrap-up, but it also wasn't my intention to come down with a sinus infection. Between that, the holiday, and the usual hullabaloo of working retail on Black Friday weekend, there just wasn't enough time for blogging. I hope all of my American readers had a great Thanksgiving, and that my handful of international followers enjoyed a very pleasant Thursday.

We are now entering the last year in which I can describe my age as "fortymumble" and I haven't quite decided how I feel about that. But one thing remains certain, and that is that I'm still having a lot of fun with this blog, so rest assured that it's still going to be a thing in the new year. With that, let's dive into the annual recap and see which of this year's offerings you all liked the best.
