Hello from Day 46 of the current California COVID constant curfew. It’s only Monday, but it feels like this week is going by so quickly. If at least 40 people explain that to me by Wednesday, January 6, 2021, one of you will be selected to win a #raabidfun T-shirt. Winner will get a one-time-use code to use on my Etsy store. Drawing open only to entrants who are both in the USA and over the age of 18.
Yesterday I missed OOMPH, POEM, and POOH as easier ones.
