๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€: Once the golden boy of the English literary scene, now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction, Ash Winters has given up on hope, happiness, andโ€•most of allโ€•himself. He lives his life between the cycles of his illness, haunted by the ghosts of other people's expectations.

Then a chance encounter throws him into the path of Essex-born Darian Taylor. Flashy and loud, radiant and full of life, Darian couldn't be more different...and yet he makes Ash laugh, reminding him of what it's like to step beyond the boundaries of his anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can no longer see a way out. Can a man who doesn't trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can someone who doesn't believe in happiness ever fight for his own?

AOTD: Iโ€™m home cleaning and maybe baking up some Scotcharoos. Iโ€™ll post a link to the recipe in my stories.

Today

I am finally home today, so itโ€™s all about catching up on chores around the house, hitting the dreadmill, doing a little bit of yoga, and baking up some Scotcharoos for the seniors at school. Before I get crazy questions, there are only four kids in my sonโ€™s graduating class so itโ€™s super easy to bake for them.
