Hi friends,
did you ever wonder which memories the brain stores and which ones are tossed to the ether? Or somewhere into space? Had my first experience with c-related brain fog lately and am curious to see if neurons, that have been confused, will find their ways back to usual patterns at some later point.
However, this did not prevent my frontal cortex from putting together a BRAND NEW hey woman! flea market in a “festive edition” and a shiny new technical environment. Check it out HERE and be fast to snatch a little black dress, some items to gift or a black LV Noe bucket bag.
Wishing you a healthy rest of December
